Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army Amir Hatami has said that the attack on IRIS Dena, sunk by US attack in the Indian Ocean, “will not go unanswered”, reported Al Jazeera. “The crew of the Dena destroyer had completed a peaceful mission and were targeted while on their way back to Iran,” Hatami said as quoted by the IRNA news agency. “The name of Dena and the sacrifice of its crew will remain a symbol of courage and dedication in Iran’s naval history. The army will defend Iran’s maritime borders and strengthen its naval power with even greater determination,” he added.
