Two Iranian Warships Take Sanctuary in India and Sri Lanka
(Defense News) Anjana Pasricha - Two Iranian warships have docked in India and Sri Lanka after a U.S. submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean last week. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told parliament Monday the Iranian ship Iris Lavan sailed into the port of Kochi last week after it reported a technical problem. Its crew have been housed at Indian naval facilities. Sri Lanka took control of Iran's Irins Bushehr and offloaded 288 crew members at Trincomalee port after the ship had sought assistance, saying one of its engines malfunctioned.
