@AlisonCreekside if this can be confirmed this is a pretty massive crime on the US side.
@meuwese "At least 87 Iranian sailors were killed in the attack on the Iris Dena. The frigate was sailing in international waters as it returned from a naval exercise organised by India in the Bay of Bengal.
The torpedo strike prompted questions from former US officials about whether Washington’s aim of eliminating all of Iran’s military breached international law. ...
“An American submarine sank an Iranian warship that thought it was safe," said Pete Hegseth, the ex-Fox News host now leading the Pentagon as defence secretary.The ship was transiting home after participating in training exercises hosted by the Indian navy at the time of the strike. India had convened naval assets from 74 countries for a March exercise."

@AlisonCreekside well, that explains what tf the ship was going in the middle of nowhere
@rune Not quite "in the middle of nowhere"

The former Indian FM:I imagine this is exactly how that alcoholic crusading bimbo, Peter Hegseth, gets his dates.

@fname Sinking an unarmed ship that was part of a naval exercise of 74 countries must be what Hegseth meant when he boasted that the US operation against Iran was not following any “stupid rules of engagement”.
How is this not a crime? They are admitting to murder.
-
@AlisonCreekside This should count as bombing under a flag of truce, and be sent to the Hague immediately.
We'd actually have to be prosecuting war crimes for that to happen. Doesn't seem like that happens anymore.
-
@AlisonCreekside What sort of fucking animals lead this country? American forces sank a ship they knew to be defenceless, didn't offer to aid the survivors, and fucking claimed the high ground? The list of war crimes out of this is phenomenal.
They've been sinking defenceless ships for months and patting themselves on the back though. Just look at the Gulf of Mexico.

@AlisonCreekside well, relative to "Iran is fighting US military bases in the gulf". It'd be equally weird if it was sunk off the coast of Italy.

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside I admit I'm starting to lose track of how to categorize our crimes at this point, but this is surely on the order of ones that people were hanged for at Nuremberg. It's murder, of course. If there's any justice left in this world, people in my country's govt will be sent to the Hague, and some of them won't come back.

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside It is very debatable which side of this conflict India will take. On one hand it's a key player of BRICS alongside Russia and China. On the other its the only country in the world that has consistently cheered on and fully supported the genocide against #palestine
Indian-Iranian relations are complex at best. But,
bombing India's unarmed invited guests probably doesn't do the Israel-US side any favours. -

@AlisonCreekside Maybe his fellow inmates will carve that on his corpse's chest. Fitting last words for a bloviating, murderous coward.

Yes, Felonious POTUS and Sec.Hegseth particularly enjoy blowing up defenseless vessels. They are both homicidal maniacs

The former Indian FM:It's going to take generations of ethical and moral good behavior for the US to regain the (imperfect) reputation for fair dealing that this Trump regime of thieves, fraudsters, and murderers have squandered in such a short time.

@AlisonCreekside The reprisals for Operation Epstein Fury will make the 2001 WTC attack look like the 1993 WTC attack.

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside all hands on the vessel must have known the Iranian ship was defenseless, yet they still carried out orders to destroy it. In my mind that makes all the soldiers onboard war criminals for not stopping this clearly illegal order.
