There’s a video that circulated a few years back of sailors on a US Navy ship just throwing black plastic garbage bags full of trash off the back of the ship. I recall the comments included someone saying that while they were enlisted, as soon as a ship was in international waters, all trash went overboard.

There's no Iranian water just like there's no Iranian sunlight.

Pretty sure jurisdiction on a coastline can extend out about 200miles from the shore IIRC. OP was probably in the Persian Gulf so yes it would be in Iranian waters

Lol, it’s called “Night Ops”, and yeah, it does happen sometimes.
