A US submarine torpedoed and sank Iranian warship IRIS Dena approximately 40 kilometres off the Sri Lankan coast on March 3, days after it participated in India’s International Fleet Review in Vishakhapatnam. The Iranian frigate departed India on February 25 and was attacked while en route. The Indian Navy was informed about the sinking on March 4 at 9 am and subsequently diverted ships and aircraft for rescue operations. Strategic affairs experts suggest the incident raises concerns about India’s role as a regional security provider in the Indian Ocean. Questions have been raised about whether the US violated the Second Geneva Convention by not alerting rescue authorities immediately after the attack. The incident has prompted diplomatic activity, with India’s Foreign Secretary signing a condolence book for assassinated Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei five days after his death. Experts debate whether India should recalibrate its defence partnerships in light of US military operations in India’s strategic backyard without prior coordination.
