Iran’s navy says it forced a US submarine to surface as it entered the Persian Gulf, according to a declaration by Iranian navy commander Shahram Irani to state television on Thursday. Further he claimed that the sub violated Iran’s territorial waters.
“The U.S. submarine was approaching while submerged, but the Iranian submarine Fateh detected it and carried out… maneuvers to force it to surface as it went through the Strait (of Hormuz). It had also entered into our territorial waters but… it corrected its course after being warned,” Irani said.
