A former submariner analyses the recent US submarine strike on an Iranian frigate in international waters, approximately 40 nautical miles outside Sri Lankan territorial waters in the Indian Ocean region. The Iranian vessel, reportedly carrying about 180 crew members instead of the standard 150, was tracked and sunk by what is believed to be a US nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN). This marks only the fourth such sinking in the last 80 years since World War II. The strike occurred around 2,000 miles away from Iran, with the US having withdrawn from the Milan 26 naval exercise days prior. Questions arise regarding compliance with United Nations Charter Article 51 on self-defence, as neither the US nor Iran has formally declared war. The US has termed the ongoing situation ‘Operation Epic Fury’, classifying it as a conflict rather than a war. The incident raises concerns about escalation in the Indian Ocean region and the legal justification for the attack.
