4:42 PM – Iranian Submarine Fired Torpedoes at a US Supercarrier – 18 Minutes Later It Was Wiped Out
A tense naval confrontation reportedly unfolded in the Gulf when an Iranian submarine launched torpedoes toward a U.S. Navy supercarrier during the afternoon. The sudden underwater attack triggered immediate defensive responses from the carrier strike group, with escort ships deploying sonar tracking and anti-submarine countermeasures to locate the hostile submarine.
Within minutes, U.S. naval forces responded with a coordinated anti-submarine operation involving helicopters, surveillance aircraft, and guided weapons. Military sources claim the Iranian submarine was detected and destroyed roughly 18 minutes after the torpedo launch, preventing further threats to the carrier group.
The incident highlights the growing intensity of naval tensions in the region, where submarines, drones, and missile systems are increasingly being used in high-risk encounters. Analysts warn that repeated underwater engagements between the two militaries could significantly escalate the broader conflict across key shipping routes in the Gulf.
