The Sri Lankan navy released video footage showing its sailors rescuing Iranian crew members from the sea following a U.S. submarine attack that sank their vessel in international waters. The footage provides the first visual confirmation of the naval incident, which occurred during the ongoing Iran-Israel-U.S. military conflict. Iranian sailors are seen being pulled from the water by Sri Lankan naval personnel in what authorities described as a humanitarian rescue operation. The sinking of the Iranian ship by the USS Asheville had previously drawn controversy internationally.
