@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."

Is the attack on this ship -within this probably illegal war- really a war crime?
It was a war ship of a conflicting party, and they had time to sail to a neutral harbour (Saturday to Wednesday morning) with the highly chance of getting into internment, the captain obviously decided against.
And would have been the submarine be obligated to help the survivors?
So, I'm no lawyer, but I'm really interesed how this handled by law. Not from a moralistic point of view.
Yes, Felonious POTUS and Sec.Hegseth particularly enjoy blowing up defenseless vessels. They are both homicidal maniacs
