"We are only four days into this, and the results have been incredible. Historic, really. Only the United States of America could lead this, only us. But when you add the Israeli Defense Forces, a devastatingly capable force, the combination is sheer destruction for our radical Islamist Iranian adversaries. They are toast, and they know it. Or at least, soon enough, they will know it."

Hegseth also confirmed that a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean with a torpedo, calling it the first sinking of an enemy vessel by torpedo since World War Two. Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath earlier told parliament that 180 people were on board the vessel, which he identified as the IRIS Dena. (0840-IRAN-CRISIS/PENTAGON-UPDATE)

Two Greek frigates arrived in Cyprus on Wednesday after drones struck the British Royal Air Force base in Akrotiri on the island days earlier, prompting a broader regional defence military response from European allies. The frigates, the Kimon and Psara, were seen off the port of the southern city of Limassol, near the British air base. The Psara is equipped with a Centauros anti-drone jamming system used previously against Houthi attacks off Yemen. Greece has also sent four F-16 fighter jets to the island.
