More than 200 Iranian sailors left stranded in Sri Lanka after a US torpedo attack are returning home after being stuck in the country for more than a month.
On Wednesday, Sri Lanka’s Deputy Defence Minister, Aruna Jayasekara, confirmed 32 sailors rescued from the Iris Dena and 206 from Irins Bushehr, had left the country.
The Iranian warship, Iris Dena, sank on 4 March about 40km (25 miles) from Sri Lanka’s southern coastline after it was hit by a torpedo from a US submarine, killing 104 sailors.
104 more sailors killed in the Epstein Class war is a damn shame.
Just to add another angle, and sorry it’s a little devoid of empathy; this is also damage control training for the Iranians. Those who made it out are now better fit to do it again next time. The U.S. is really doing a number on itself. Consider just the tip of the iceberg:
- Iranians know they can now leverage the Strait for political purposes. One could argue, a seat at the round table is why they wanted nuclear weapons… you’ve shown them another way.
- Iranian leadership was more reluctant to challenge the US head on. That is… until you killed that leadership.
- Iranian government now has, what, 10 demands including the right to pursue nuclear weapons? They’re making the demands now, whereas you were the one to bomb them rather than negotiate on good faith. Previously, you could have settled for a skinny list of 2-3 such demands while also avoiding a war.
And now you’re teaching their Navy about damage control.
“More than 200 stranded Iranian sailors return home after US torpedo attack”
Same amount of words, but the grammar actually makes sense.
I swear to god, this piss poor grammar is intentional.

I was trying to figure out how a torpedo attack could return home.
It’s called a circle run and it’s a real problem.
