Hegseth joined Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine at the Pentagon to provide an update to reporters on "Operation Epic Fury" in Iran.
"An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters," Hegseth said. "Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two. Like in that war, back when we were still the War Department. We are fighting to win."
Caine said that a submarine was "effectively neutralized" in a Navy "fast attack" using a single Mark 48 torpedo. He added that U.S. Navy achieved "immediate effect, sending the warship to the bottom of the sea."
Hegseth also said that the U.S. Navy sunk an Iranian warship, the Soleimani.
"The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated. Pick your adjective," Hegseth said. "In fact, last night we sunk their prize ship, the Soleimani. Looks like POTUS got him twice. Their navy, not a factor. Pick your adjective. It is no more."
