The US will “bitterly regret the precedent it has set” after an American submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in an attack that left more than 80 sailors dead, the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister warned, while an ayatollah called for President Trump’s blood.
“The US has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran’s shores. Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning,” wrote on X on Thursday.

Iranian Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli called for the “shedding of Zionist blood, the shedding of Trump’s blood” in the wake of the deadly naval attack.
“We are now on the verge of a great test, and we must be careful to fully preserve this unity, to fully preserve this alliance,” Amoli said in a message aired on Iranian state television on Thursday.
“The Imam of the time issued a Fatwa against Donald Trump and said, ‘Fight the oppressive America; his blood is on my shoulders.’”
