【How Did the US Ambush the Iranian Warship? Here's the Truth!】 Former Indian Foreign Minister Kavinder Singh wrote, "If we hadn't invited the Iranian warship ('Dena' frigate) to our joint military exercises, it wouldn't have been there. We were the hosts. According to the rules of this exercise, as far as I know, ships should not carry any ammunition. It was completely defenseless. Iranian naval personnel paraded in front of our president."
Mr. Singh said, "The attack by the American submarine was premeditated because they knew the Iranian warship had participated in the U.S. Navy's invited exercise, but the U.S. withdrew from the exercise at the last moment, presumably for this operation! The U.S. ignored India's feelings, as this ship was present in these waters only because of India's invitation. We have no political or military connection with the U.S. attack. Our responsibility lies on a moral and humanitarian level."
Mr. Singh's words explain that the Iranian warship was indeed ambushed by Americans! Unprovoked warfare, using negotiations for a sneak attack, using another country's military exercises for an ambush, bombing schools—this pair of clowns has no bottom line…
Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghch said, "The 'Dena' frigate was attacked in international waters without any prior warning, carrying nearly 130 sailors. I dare say: America will eventually be extremely regretful for the precedent it has set."
It's too late to say anything now; the incident with the warship also exposed the great room for improvement in Iran's diplomacy!
For years, regardless of whether it was due to external pressure or not, Iran has always aimed for what it calls a balance strategy. Since the time of the old Khomeini, it proposed that it should not take sides with the East or the West, but rather be the best on its own.
Strategic balance is not impossible, but choosing India to balance with is a bad choice, and the consequences are serious.
Sometimes, I really feel sorry for Iran.
