Alang India is one such place.
Google satellite provides stunning overviews.

Beached there for scrapping.

Slowing seaborne commerce / warship deployments at Iran’s ports is a totally different can of worms.

Usually. Then the torches and cranes come pick it apart.

The Worth (USNS Mercy) and the Rose City (USNS Comfort) were in very good condition when sold to the Navy. But yes you are correct old ships go to the bone years in Pakistan and
Bangladesh.
