Today: US submarine sinks an Iranian warship and Kristi Noem defends DHS conduct

Today as it Happened on Wednesday, March 4, 2026: A torpedo fired by a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, whose navy said Wednesday it recovered 87 bodies and rescued 32 people. The Iranian vessel sunk in the Indian Ocean was the Islamic Republic’s “prize ship,” U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. It was one of the few instances of a submarine sinking a ship since World War II. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced a second day of questions on Capitol Hill Wednesday. House Judiciary Committee members grilled Noem about the aggressive and sometimes deadly actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats also pointed to the massive amounts of money the department is spending on advertising and travel. And state Rep. James Talarico topped Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in an expensive and fiercely contested Texas Senate Democratic primary that once again has the party dreaming of a big upset in November. Who Talarico will face depends on a May runoff between longtime Republican Sen. John Cornyn and MAGA favorite Ken Paxton — a race expected to get increasingly nasty over coming months and could hinge on whether or not President Donald Trump offers an endorsement. Texas, along with North Carolina and Arkansas, on Tuesday kicked off midterm elections with control of Congress at stake and against the backdrop of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
