IRIS Dena: The final voyage of the Iranian warship sunk by the US
The US submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship, the Iris Dena, in international waters off Sri Lanka on March 4th. The incident occurred while the ship was returning from a multilateral naval exercise hosted by India. Pete Hegseth, US Defence Secretary, stated that the vessel "thought it was safe in international waters" but instead "died a quiet death." The sinking has raised concerns about India's regional standing and its ability to manage the fallout of the escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The incident marks a widening of the war and is seen as a strategic embarrassment for India.
