As Trump Expands War Theatre To India's Backyard, Did Netanyahu Tell Modi About Attack? | Barkha

About This Story : #trump #iran #india 87 Iranian sailors are reported dead and many more injured after a U.S. submarine allegedly sank the Iranian warship IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Sri Lanka. The ship was returning from India after participating in the Milan Naval Exercises 2026 hosted by the Indian Navy in Visakhapatnam. Just two weeks ago, Iranian sailors from the vessel marched in the Milan naval parade in Vizag, reviewed by President Droupadi Murmu. The sudden strike has sent shockwaves across the region, raising serious questions about escalating West Asia tensions spilling into India’s strategic backyard. Did India know about the strike in advance, or was New Delhi taken by surprise? With the attack taking place in international waters, India’s ability to intervene may be limited — but has American unilateral military action crossed a diplomatic red line? Senior journalist Barkha Dutt speaks with former Indian Navy Chief Admiral Arun Prakash on the geopolitical fallout, India’s strategic dilemma, and what this means for India–US relations, Iran tensions, and security in the Indian Ocean Region.
