A U.S. Navy submarine torpedoed and sank the Iranian naval warship frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka, dramatically expanding the ongoing U.S.–Iran conflict into the Indo-Pacific. The warship, returning from a multinational naval exercise in India, was struck by a Mark-48 torpedo, killing at least 87 sailors while dozens remain missing. This video explains the legal and strategic implications of the strike under UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). Was the attack lawful if the vessel was operating in international waters or an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)? What are the rules governing naval warfare beyond territorial seas? More importantly, the incident occurred in India’s strategic backyard in the Indian Ocean Region, raising questions about maritime security and the credibility of India’s MAHASAGAR doctrine (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions). As great-power rivalry spreads into the Indian Ocean, this analysis explores maritime law, geopolitics, naval strategy, and India’s response to one of the most dramatic submarine attacks in modern naval warfare.
