The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iran Naval Ship: The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.
The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iran Naval Ship: The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.
The IRIS Dena may not have been armed because it was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. Navy likely knew it because it was taking part in the same exercise.

That is why the Sub was nearby… they tailed it from Sri Lanka.

It’s crazy that this war is less than a week old, and the US has already committed at least 2 serious war crimes.

So many other reasons, but this right here will get Americans killed. This clown is set out to get us all killed.

On a training exercise with no munitions aboard.

The American Caligula doesn’t believe that war has rules. I’m sure Iran will retaliate in kind.

Jesus fucking Christ.
First the pathetic politicians in Israel and the US they bomb a school full of children and then bomb it again.
Then they bomb an unarmed ship.
I hope karma is real. I hope Hegseth, Trump, and Bibi get karma’s best shot.

The United mother fucking States Navy, pride and glory of America blew an UNARMED ship involved in scheduled exercises out of the water AND THEN BRAGGED about it ?
What the actual fuck.

So they bombed Iran under the pretext of negotiation and then bombed a ship on its way home. Why would anyone trust the U.S.?

So what? Why isn’t it a target?. You think it was going to sail happily back to Iran past the aircraft carriers.

Hegseth said they weren’t going to play by any rules and congress voted for it, this is life now.

People sympathising a regime that just killed 30,000 of its own people, have been directly responsible for hundreds among hundreds of terrorist attacks abroad and have vowed to destroy America and Israel…. and yet the same group imagine Harvey Weinstein was the worse person whom ever lived, who would otherwise just be another well-adjusted male in such societies.
By the way, this is the same regime who is attacking and sinking unarmed ships. And boasting about it.
Comical.

Honestly even if this is true to the letter with no arms aboard the Iranian warship, it is not a warcrime to sink it but it is brazenly aggressive and uncaring of human life considering the operation just started. The better way would been to offer they sail and remain at a neutral port till the conclusion of hostilities or at least an offer of their surrender, considering this is from the US Navy I think they might have taken it.

Since it was on an enternational training exercise it was unarmed

Was it kinda like, say, this?
*Hey, Iranian warship. Yes you!*
*US Navy here.*
*We’re all friends here and are participating in a multi-national naval exercise.*
*However! The plans have changed a little bit.*
*There’s going to be a SINKEX.*
*You’ve been honored — your get to play… the TARGET!*

India is angry at the US for attacking a ship that was under Indian invitation. The US knew it was unarmed and where it was because the US was also participating in the same military exercise the Iranian frigate was. It’s par for this Regimes “toughness”, to pray on unsuspecting targets that otherwise have every right to be where they are and doing what they’re doing. A sailor, a warrior, with honor would have allowed the unarmed frigate to return to port and the sailors to disembark before sinking it. If these accounts are accurate, then this was a cowards kill, to be celebrated by weak, ineffective men. Again, if true, then the person who gave this kill order is a disgrace to the flag, the military, this nation, and has irreparably dishonored the memory of our fallen heroes. Pathetic.

Are people actually surprised the US is doing crazy stuff like this? The US literally dropped 2 nukes on Japan. No other country has used nukes, yet the US is the moral/honorable power? Propaganda is so powerful.

A ship that you know is not carrying any munitions is, almost by definition, not a military target.
