The bodies of 84 Iranian sailors killed in a U.S. ⁠submarine attack on a warship off Sri Lanka's coast last week will be repatriated on a ⁠plane that an Indian source said will also stop in India to ‌take home crew members from another ​ship.

Iranian warship IRIS Dena was sunk by a torpedo from a U.S. submarine on March 4 while it was returning from a naval exercise in India amid the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

Two other ships that also participated in the exercises sought shelter: the IRIS Lavan, which docked in India, ​and the IRIS Booshehr which docked ⁠in Sri Lanka.

A Sri Lankan court ordered this week that the bodies of the sailors killed in the attack, stored in a morgue in the southern port city of Galle's National Hospital, be handed over to the embassy of Iran.

The bodies will be ⁠repatriated on ‌Friday by a special flight departing from Mattala International Airport in the southern part of the Indian Ocean island nation, Sri Lankan media reported, citing the ‌Sri Lankan defence ministry. (Reuters)

US-Israel, Iran War Live Updates | Trump says US struck military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, key oil export hub

The United States on Friday attacked military targets on Iran's main ⁠oil hub of Kharg Island, President Donald Trump said, threatening to strike oil infrastructure on the island if Iran continues to block ⁠shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. ‌military "totally obliterated every MILITARY target" on the ​island, but he had decided to leave oil infrastructure intact. The island serves as the export terminal for 90% of Iran's oil shipments and lies about 300 miles (483 km) northwest of the strait.

"However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision," Trump said.

Iran had no ability ​to defend against U.S. attacks, the president ⁠added. "Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much!" he said. The move came as oil prices have been whipsawing on Trump's changing comments on the likely duration of the Iran war, which has prompted Iran to attack ⁠vessels in the strait, ‌the conduit for a fifth of the world's oil.

US-Israel, Iran War Live Updates | US offers reward for information on Iran's supreme leader, senior officials

The United States is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information ⁠about senior Iranian military and intelligence officials, including its new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba ⁠Khamenei.

The reward targets 10 officials associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary ‌Guard Corps (IRGC), according to the ​State Department website. The military force, created after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, is loyal to the supreme leader and tasked with protecting the Shi’ite clerical establishment. Mojtaba Khamenei recently succeeded his father, Ali Khamenei, as Iran's supreme leader after the elder Khamenei ​was killed along with several ⁠other top Iranian officials in joint U.S. and Israeli strikes that began on February 28. The younger Khamenei, believed to have been injured in the strikes, hasn't been seen publicly since, although he released his first ⁠statement on Thursday.

In ‌addition to the supreme leader, the U.S. is seeking information about Iran's security chief Ali Larijani, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, Interior ‌Minister Eskandar Momeni and two officials in Khamenei's office.

Larijani appeared Friday in videos verified by ⁠Reuters alongside President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi attending a rally in Tehran, despite an assertion by U.S. ‌Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Iran's leadership was "cowering" underground. (Reuters)
