Most( not all ) modern torpedoes have 2,000 lb or greater warhead. They make really big holes. This looks like sabotage and not torpedo damage.

“Most( not all ) modern torpedoes have 2,000 lb or greater warhead. They make really big holes. This looks like sabotage and not torpedo damage.”

Citation? Most Russian-supplied torpedoes, like the type Iran uses, have warheads in the <1000 lb range.

Top left hole is definitely from a torpedo. A man-portable limpet mine wouldn’t even make a hole 1/4 that size.

It’s kinda absurd to think an Iranian is going to swim dozens of miles to a ship and plant a small limpet mine when the Iranians have hundreds of torpedoes and cruise missiles to attack ships with.

Please list the modern torpedo types with a 2,000 lb or greater warhead. Nukes don't count.
