We discuss the sinking of the Iranian frigate Dena by the USS Charlotte off the coast of Sri Lanka and the impact this is having on commercial shipping. We also look at past escort operations in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea and why such an operation may not work this time and also discuss a strategy that would target Iranian supertankers on the high seas.
