US says it sinks Iranian warship

The US military said it has sunk an Iranian warship and called on Iranian forces to lay down their arms and leave their posts, Reuters reports.

The U.S. Central Command said it sunk an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette in the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier.

“As the president said, members of Iran’s armed forces, IRGC and police ‘must lay down your weapons’. Abandon ship,” Central Command said in a post on X, referring to remarks by US President Donald Trump.
