An Iranian warship has docked at Kochi port in India after reporting technical issues, even as tensions escalate in the region. The docking of the Iranian vessel IRIS Lavan came shortly after reports that the United States sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena near Sri Lanka during the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the U.S., and Israel.
Indian authorities allowed the warship to dock on humanitarian grounds, providing assistance to the crew while the vessel undergoes checks and possible repairs. The move highlights India’s careful diplomatic balancing amid escalating military tensions in West Asia.
