How US sinking of Iranian warship blew hole in Modi’s ‘guardian’ claims

In March 2026, the Iranian warship IRIS Dena was sunk by a US submarine in the Indian Ocean, 44 nautical miles off the coast of Sri Lanka. The incident occurred as the Dena was returning from naval exercises hosted by India. The US Defense Secretary stated the sinking was a deliberate act demonstrating the US's willingness to confront Iran. Iranian officials condemned the attack, emphasizing the Dena was a guest of the Indian Navy after participating in the "Milan" exercise. The sinking resulted in the deaths of over 80 Iranian sailors. The event has raised questions about India's self-proclaimed role as a security provider in the Indian Ocean.
