Iran's High Council for Human Rights calls on the United Nations to recognize US officials behind the deliberate attack on the Iranian Dena destroyer as war criminals.

Iran secured third place at the 2026 Asian Beach Games, its best ever, as 57 athletes, under the banner of "Martyrs of the Dena Warship," overcame wartime hardships to bring home nine gold medals.

Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani has issued a strong warning to the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, stating that Iranian forces are prepared to retaliate if the vessel re-enters the region. 

Mass funerals are being held in Tehran and other Iranian cities for dozens of sailors killed in US attack.

As the Iranian capital gears up for a massive funeral honoring 84 martyred sailors of the IRIS Dena, top officials declared that the cowardly assassination of these naval heroes will only make the foundation of the country's armed forces "firmer for years."

Iranian Navy commander, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, has warned that the enemy will face deadly retaliation for the massacre of Iranian Navy officers.

The head of Iran's Judiciary says the US attack on the Dena destroyer off the coast of Sri Lanka is in violation of the international maritime law.
