US Submarine Destroys Iranian Warship in Indian Ocean, 140 Missing
A US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, leaving approximately 140 personnel unaccounted for. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the attack, stating the vessel was destroyed with a torpedo. The incident marks a significant escalation in the US-Iran standoff, with Israel also conducting strikes in Tehran and Lebanon. Regional tensions now extend to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Turkey, where NATO forces intercepted an Iranian missile. No Nigerian-specific impact is reported, though oil price volatility remains a potential concern.
