Never before has Indian govt looked so timid, fearful: Congress after U.S. submarine sinks Iranian warship

Congress leaders have criticized the Modi government's silence on the U.S. submarine attack and sinking of an Iranian warship, calling it "timid" and "fearful." Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of surrendering India's strategic autonomy in the face of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Pete Hegseth, U.S. Defense Secretary, confirmed the incident as the first sinking of an enemy warship by a torpedo since World War II. The attack has raised concerns about maritime security in the Indian Ocean, which is considered India's backyard.
