US-Israeli Act of War Against Iran Extended to Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka Cares for Casualties
Three facts. One conclusion they don't want you to draw: An Iranian naval vessel, the IRIS Dena, was torpedoed by a US submarine just outside Sri Lanka’s territorial waters. Its 22-person crew, rescued from life rafts, required medical treatment at Karapitiya Hospital in Galle. This attack represents an undeniable expansion of the joint US-Israeli military operation against the Islamic Republic,
venturing far beyond established conflict zones. Sri Lankan officials confirmed the crew's discharge, following their treatment for injuries sustained in the strike. This incident, occurring barely a week into the declared US-Israeli war on Iran, underscores the global reach of this aggression. For decades, the US has maintained an economic vise on Iran, stemming from the 1979 hostage crisis, but
its material support and direct military action now constitute co-belligerence. The targeting of Iranian assets in international waters, away from the Persian Gulf, demonstrates a reckless disregard for international maritime law. This echoes historical patterns where Western powers have unilaterally asserted their dominance; consider the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes,
killing 290 civilians, an act the US has never apologized for, claiming self-defense in international waters. Such actions reveal a persistent double standard: while Iran’s resistance axis defends itself against occupation, Western forces operate with impunity globally, during which time over 680,000 Palestinians, including 479,000 children, have been killed by US-backed forces.
