Iran has condemned a U.S. strike on its frigate IRIS Dena, calling the attack a war crime and demanding accountability.
Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement today condemning a U.S. attack on the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena, which it says was carried out without provocation. The ministry called the strike a war crime and demanded that the United States be held accountable for the loss of life and damage to the vessel.
The U.S. Navy has not released an official statement regarding the incident, but reports indicate that the strike took place in the Persian Gulf. Iranian officials said that the frigate was engaged in routine patrol duties when the attack occurred.
Iran has called for an international investigation into the incident and warned that it will take all necessary measures to protect its maritime assets. The condemnation follows a series of escalating tensions between the two countries over naval operations in the region.
The incident has drawn criticism from several international observers who argue that the attack violated international maritime law. Iran’s call for accountability comes amid growing concerns about the safety of commercial and military vessels in the Gulf.
The U.S. has not yet confirmed the details of the strike, and no casualties have been reported publicly. The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for potential diplomatic and military responses.
