An Iranian naval vessel sank near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean after a U.S. submarine strike, marking an escalation of the widening Iran war beyond the Middle East. Sri Lanka responded to a distress call and rescued 32 sailors while many others remain missing. Another Iranian ship later approached Sri Lankan waters seeking assistance, raising regional security concerns for both Sri Lanka and India as the conflict begins to spill into South Asian waters.
