A U.S. submarine has sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. That comes as Washington and Israel intensify 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, while Iran fired on Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel.
