WANA (Oct 18) – On Saturday night, October 18, several foreign media outlets claimed that a U.S. submarine had targeted an LPG carrier in regional waters, alleging that the vessel was “owned by Iran.”

 

The report was later echoed by some Iranian media outlets; however, no official Iranian authority has issued any statement confirming or denying the incident, and details remain unverified.
