Submarine attack on Iranian warship off Sri Lanka leaves over 100 missing

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.

Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.What followed was even more grotesque.

After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.

It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.

The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.

Wrong again. you provided no link to show that ship was "unarmed."

"The Iranian ship sunk by a U.S. submarine in the Indian Ocean (March 2026) was the
IRIS Dena (or Dena), a Mowj-class frigate. Its armament included 4 Qader anti-ship missiles, 2 Sayyad air-defense missiles, a 76mm main gun, a 40mm gun, and smaller 20mm/12.7mm guns, plus lightweight torpedoes and 3D radar."

It was on a training mission but even if it was not carrying live ammunition or missiles, do you really think we're going to allow it to return to an Iranian or Russian port where it can be rearmed?

You suck at military strategy. Maybe that's why you Russians are getting your asses kicked in Ukraine.
 
No I wasn't. I didn't say it was in port @ Diego Garcia, AND.........you're certainly not cool. :fu:
You said it was a threat to Diego Garcia, did you not? Come on, tuck your tail, whimper and slide on out of the conversation. You had diarrhea of the keyboard and got called on it, AGAIN!

You said:
"That's too close to Diego Garcia for comfort."

How can a SeaMajor not know anything about the Indian Ocean?

So, I take it you don't do nuance.
Please stop stalking me.
 
Open your atlas.
Sir Lanka and Diego Garcia are on the same page.
If I said Easter Island, you'd have a point.
Seems odd coming from a seaman, but whatever.
Over it.
They are almost 1000 nautical miles apart. If the ship traveled direct from Sri Lanka to Diego Garcia at 15 knots, how long would it take to get there and what would it do when it arrived?

The answer is almost 3 days if it could avoid our hunter-killer SSNs.

Let's face it, your alligator mouth overrode your tiny canary ass and you said something stupid. Admit it, and you can sleep tonight with a clear conscience after denying it for many hours now.

I prefer not to get in a battle of wits with an unarmed person, but in your case, I love to make an exception.
