BREAKING: Iranian Submarines Launch Torpedo Attack on U.S. Carrier Strike Group in Gulf of Oman
Gulf of Oman — Tensions in the region reportedly surged after six Iranian submarines were said to have fired torpedoes toward a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group, triggering an immediate defensive response from American naval forces operating in the area.
According to defense sources, the carrier — escorted by guided-missile destroyers and cruisers — was transiting a constrained maritime corridor when sonar operators detected multiple high-speed underwater contacts approaching from varying depths. The alert for a possible incoming torpedo sounded across the task force, sending crews rushing to combat stations.
U.S. warships quickly deployed counter-torpedo measures, including acoustic decoys and rapid maneuvering tactics designed to confuse incoming threats. Anti-submarine helicopters were reportedly launched within minutes, scanning the sea surface and dropping sonobuoys to track hostile submarines beneath the waves.
