Iran’s Ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, said India did everything possible after the Iranian warship IRIS Dena was sunk by a US submarine near Sri Lanka. The frigate was returning from a naval exercise in Visakhapatnam when it was torpedoed on March 4, killing more than 100 crew members. Speaking at the India Today Conclave 2026, Fathali said the Indian government accepted Iran’s requests and offered support. He also claimed some other countries refused to cooperate but did not name them. India also allowed another Iranian warship, IRIS Lavan, to dock in Kochi. Some crew members of the ship have already been repatriated.
