"In this special conversation with The Hindu, Arun Prakash, former Chief of Naval Staff, discusses the strategic implications of the escalating Israel–Iran conflict and a dramatic development in the Indian Ocean, where a US submarine reportedly torpedoed an Iranian warship returning from exercises in India. Speaking to The Hindu’s S. Anandan, Prakash examines what the incident means for India’s maritime security, its aspiration to be a net security provider in the region, and the risks to global shipping and energy supplies from the Persian Gulf."
