🤿 🚢 💥 🇮🇷 El video muestra el momento de la #explosión y #hundimiento del #buque de #guerra iraní IRIS Dena, una #fragata de la #Armada iraní, tras ser atacado por un #submarino estadounidense con un #torpedo Mark-48. Esto ocurrió el 4 de marzo de 2026, en aguas internacionales del Océano Índico, aproximadamente a 25 millas (40 km) de la costa sur de Sri Lanka, con un saldo de al menos 84 marineros iraníes muertos, con 32 rescatados y alrededor de 20 desaparecidos. Este incidente forma parte de la operación militar conjunta entre #EEUU e #Israel contra #Irán. El buque IRIS Dena había participado recientemente en un ejercicio naval en India y se dirigía de regreso a Irán cuando fue atacado. Según la Guardia Revolucionaria de #Irán habrá acciones con "mini-submarinos" en toda la zona de conflicto.

A dangerous narrative is spreading online (claiming it happened "on our watch" or in our "oceanic backyard") blaming the Indian Navy for "allowing" the US to sink the Iranian warship IRIS Dena. This is geographically ignorant and legally illiterate stance. Let’s look at the facts. FACT 1: The IRIS Dena was sunk 46 nautical miles south of Galle, Sri Lanka. This is over 1,247 km away from the Indian naval base at Visakhapatnam where it departed. Expecting the Indian Navy to physically escort every foreign ship across the globe is logistically absurd. FACT 2: Under international maritime law (UNCLOS), a nation's sovereign Territorial Waters end at 12 nautical miles. The sinking occurred at 40 nm off Sri Lanka, meaning the incident happened in INTERNATIONAL WATERS (the High Seas) off the coast of an entirely different country. FACT 3: In International Waters, the "Flag State" rule applies, meaning vessels are subject to the jurisdiction of the state whose flag they fly. The US submarine and the Iranian ship are sovereign territories of their respective nations. If India had fired on the US sub to protect the Iranian ship, it would be an illegal act of war against America. FACT 4: People misunderstand the "Net Security Provider" doctrine. India’s naval strategy mandates the Navy to fight non-state threats like pirates, conduct disaster relief (HADR), and protect trade routes. It DOES NOT mandate intervening in conventional wars between foreign powers. When fulfilling its actual mandate, the Indian Navy is unmatched. In recent years, the Indian Navy has rescued multiple merchant ships from pirates, including the epic recovery of the MV Ruen by MARCOS commandos. The Navy acts decisively against non-state threats to protect global commerce. The sinking of the IRIS Dena is a tragic escalation of the US-Iran war. However, blaming India for a kinetic strike between two foreign nations in international waters is a disinformation tactic. The Indian Navy remains the ultimate protector of our sovereignty, not a mercenary escort for foreign proxy wars. 🙏PMO India : Report Card
