Tensions escalate between the US and Iran following the sinking of the Iranian warship IRIS Dena by a US submarine in the Indian Ocean. The Iranian navy reports at least 104 fatalities in the incident, while Sri Lanka has recovered numerous bodies from the wreckage. This event marks the first use of a torpedo by a US submarine against an enemy ship since World War II, raising serious legal and diplomatic questions. As the US and Iran engage in a war of words, India is placed in a diplomatic dilemma after granting docking permissions to Iranian vessels amidst the fallout. The US asserts its actions were in compliance with naval warfare laws, but critics argue the warship was effectively defenseless. As the world watches, the implications of this attack ripple across Asia, altering perceptions of US military involvement and alliances in the region.
