The long arm of the Trump war department

The most extraordinary event so far in Operation Epic Fury, Donald Trump's war against Iran, is the sinking of an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka. A long way from Iran - about 2,000 miles - and sunk by a US submarine firing torpedos. First, this is the first firing in anger by an American submarine since I don't know when, and, second, it shows the Pentagon, and more specifically US Central Command, is on the lookout for anything Iranian floating or flying which can be targeted. The Iranian warship, a frigate called Iris Dena, sunk about 25 miles off the southern Sri Lankan coast. It sent out a Mayday appeal and 32 of the sailors were rescued. But 80 sailors died. Because it was part of the Iranian navy I guess the Pentagon thought it was a legitimate target, following Trump's stated desire to demolish the whole of the ayatollah's navy. This was one warship that got away, until a US submarine sneaked up on it and fired a torpedo or two into its hull. The crew on board probably thought they were well out of it when they were suddenly attacked. If there are any other Iranian warships still sailing the seas, they better watch out.This is unquestionably an unequal war. Iran likes to think of itself as a big power with tons of ballistic missiles to threaten anyone who attacks the country. But the reality is, their weapons and armaments and warships are being picked off at a huge rate on a daily basis by the US and Israeli military, and soon Iran will have nothing left. This is clearly part of the Epic Fury plan. PLEASE BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY PAPERBACK SPY THRILLER. AMAZON, ROWANVALE BOOKS, WATERSTONES.
