US Sub That Torpedoed Iranian Ship Included Australians, PM Says

Three Australian Defence Force personnel were among the crew of a US submarine that torpedoed and sank an Iranian vessel in the Indian Ocean, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, while adding that none were involved in operations related to the attack.

The trio were embedded with the US submarine’s crew under long-standing “third country arrangements” and operated in accordance with Australian law and policy, Albanese said Friday in an interview with Sky News.
