Early in the morning on March 4, a US Navy attack submarine, USS Charlotte, sank an Iranian Navy frigate, IRIS (Islamic Republic of Iran Ship) Dena, in international waters roughly 20 nautical miles off Oman’s coast. The sinking was seen as a significant escalation by Tehran and raised questions about the legal implications of such attacks under the law of naval warfare.

What a timely topic! I’ve been following this debate with great interest since it first surfaced on social media. To me, this incident highlights the need for more transparency in international naval warfare. We should be discussing not only the legal implications but also the moral ones.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from Michael Schmitt and Elizabeth Hutton as they seem to have a deep understanding of these matters. Can we expect them to shed some light on how they believe this incident will impact future maritime operations?
Also, I’d like to know what others think about the role of international law in preventing such incidents from happening again.
Let’s get the discussion started!
