I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.

This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

@statsguy but that would upset their owners and that cannot be allowed

But you think fake toots are ok?

"IRIS Dena was a Moudge-class frigate launched in 2015, and was commissioned into the Iran Navy in 2021. The ship had an armament of surface-to-air and anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, and was equipped with several guns and cannons."

No, it's not. It directly addresses the OP's claim. You failed to pick up on their lie. Sad.

‘Execution at sea’: Was IRIS Dena, Iranian frigate sunk by US in the Indian Ocean, unarmed? - The Statesman

The frigate was returning from India after participating in MILAN-2026, a multilateral naval exercise hosted by New Delhi in Visakhapatnam, before it was torpedoed by a US submarine, killing at least 87 sailors. The exercise required the ship to follow "peace protocol".
