Bevor es von den USA versenkt wurde, bot Indien dem iranischen Schiff IRIS Dena Schutz an

Had those dumbasses stayed, they would’ve all been alive right now, possibly chilling munching some biryani in AP.

The Dena, which left Visakhapatnam after participating in the International Fleet Review (IFR) and MILAN-2026 exercise that ended on February 25 , was torpedoed in the early hours of March 4. According to the Indian Navy, the warship was operating 20 nautical miles west of Galle.

The safe harbour offer was said to have been made in view of the rising tensions between the US and Iran. Hostilities erupted on February 28 when Israel and the US carried out the first wave of air strikes across Iran

Regardless of whether this is true or just an attempt from India to save face, I struggle to imagine that the Iranian vessel wouldn’t have found some port, whether in India or elsewhere, to intern themselves for the duration of the war, as that other Iranian vessel recently did in Sri Lanka.

Ships and planes being interned in neutral countries after the start of a war that caught them outside their territory is a pretty long tradition, it functionally removes enemy combatants so I don’t think the US could complain too much anyway.

Besides, what hope did this ship have even if the sub didn’t sink it? the only way back into an Iranian port is through the strait full of American ships.

It just seems like a pointless suicide.

Is Donald gonna do anything about this betrayal?

Eh. Fuck ‚em.
