Hegseth says that in the Indian Ocean, the US sank "an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters".

"Instead it was sunk by a torpedo," he says.

Hegseth did not name the Iranian ship that was attacked.

But earlier the Sri Lankan navy reported the IRIS Dena went down in the Indian Ocean, with around 140 people on board missing.

Another war crime. To bad we wound up with a make believe Sec. of Defense but he sure has the SAG card to play the part.

The Lincoln gallows were big, Nuremberg bigger and trumps will have to be the biggest and best ever
