A U.S. submarine has sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. The sinking happened as Washington and Israel intensified their bombardment Wednesday of Iran’s security forces and other symbols of power. As the war expands yet again, Tehran has warned of the destruction of the Middle East’s military and economic infrastructure. The tempo of the strikes on Iran was so intense that state television announced the mourning ceremony for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be postponed. In addition to striking Tehran on the fifth day of the conflict, Israel hit the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. Iran fired on Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel.
Four of the six U.S. soldiers killed in the Iran war have been identified by the Pentagon as members of the Army Reserve. They're from different states, and worked in logistics and kept troops supplied with food and equipment. They died Sunday when a drone hit a command center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. They're identified as Capt. Cody Khork of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Sgt. Declan Coady of West Des Moines, Iowa.
