Just as negotiators were preparing to meet in Vienna on Wednesday to wrap up the latest round of talks on reviving the Iran nuclear deal, Iran's largest warship caught fire Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman and sank under unclear circumstances.
The blaze reportedly raged for 20 hours before the ship sank. It appears the entire crew safely left the vessel. The fire occurred during a "training naval operation" and it's not clear exactly what caused it.
"All efforts to save the vessel were unsuccessful and it sank," Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency said.
