Iran navy vows 'deadly retaliation' over Dena ship sinking Iranian Navy commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani on Tuesday said that it will retaliate against the killing of at least 87 sailors off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, Press TV reported.  “We will not forget the enemy’s crime, and we will exact retribution for the blood of our martyrs,” Irani was quoted as saying by Iran’s English-language news channel Press TV. “The enemy should know that we will punish it with deadly strikes from where it least expects,” he said. “Although today we mourn our loved ones, by the grace of God, we have brought the enemy to its knees,” he added. On March 4, a US submarine sank the Iranian Navy’s IRIS Dena vessel in international waters off the coast of Galle in Sri Lanka, while sailing back to Iran after participating in a joint navy exercise with India.

War on Iran launched on 'dubious basis' under international law, Germany says German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the war on Iran “was launched on a dubious basis under international law” and urged a swift end to the conflict, according to the dpa news agency. Speaking in Panama City, Steinmeier described the war as “politically disastrous” and warned that further escalation would be equally dangerous. “We should therefore bring the hostilities to an end as soon as possible and, above all, work toward that goal with all parties involved,” he said.

The odds of a quick resolution to the war appear to be dwindling by the day, and the political stakes for the president are only growing.

Iranian president: Tehran will not surrender to bullies Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran did not initiate the war with the United States and Israel, insisting Iran is exercising its right to defend itself against attack. Writing on X, Pezeshkian said protecting the country from military aggression was Iran’s “natural right which we are good at”. He also warned regional states against allowing their territory to be used for attacks on Iran. “Using the American bases against Iran in the region, with the purpose of disturbing our relations with our neighbours, should be stopped,” he wrote, adding that he raised the issue during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron. Pezeshkian said peace in the region could not be achieved while Iran faced ongoing attacks. “Peace and stability in the region cannot be achieved while disregarding the Zionist-American invasion [of] our country. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not surrender to bullies.” He also called for international condemnation of the invasion and said talk of ending the war was premature. “Speaking of ending the war is meaningless until we ensure there will be no more attacks in our land in the future.”
