A sailor aboard an Iranian warship that was sunk by the US Navy in the Indian Ocean earlier this week had called his father, saying American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the frigate, Iran International reported.
The ship, IRIS Dena, was struck by a torpedo shortly afterward, killing more than 80 sailors, including the one who had called his father. Thirty-two crew members were rescued by the Sri Lankan Navy after responding to the vessel’s distress call.
