As part of the effort to debilitate Iranian forces, a U.S. attack submarine sank an Iranian naval ship off the coast of Sri Lanka with a torpedo, Hegseth said. It was the first time an American torpedo has sunk a ship since World War II.

“An American submarine sank ?an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters,” he said. “Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death.”

Four days into the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the U.S. is pressing its military advantage. “This was never meant to be a fair fight,” Hegseth said. “We are punching them while they are down, which is exactly the way it should be.”

Emphasis mine... Absolutely this. Never take your foot off the gas.

PS - Haven't read any mystery, anonymously sourced articles telling me Hegseth is unqualified; has a tattoo; is too handsome; is bound to Fox News; etc. lately. Liberals love to throw shite on the wall, but TDS has left them with only diarrhea.
