"It took them a few days to sail in and then they docked in Kochi. The ship is there. The people on the ship were a lot of young cadets. They have disembarked and are at a nearby facility. The warship, identified as IRIS Lavan by officials, had requested to dock in India due to technical difficulties, and on March 1, the Indian government allowed it to enter Indian waters based on humanitarian grounds."
"On March 4, a US submarine torpedoed the IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean amid the conflict in Iran, killing at least 87 on board. Within 24 hours, another Iranian vessel, the IRIS Bushehr sought assistance from Sri Lanka, whose authorities responded to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region."
India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar confirmed that a third Iranian warship, IRIS Lavan, docked in Kochi after requesting assistance due to technical difficulties. The Indian government approved the docking on March 1 based on humanitarian grounds. Young cadets aboard the vessel disembarked and were relocated to a nearby facility. This incident occurred amid escalating Middle East tensions, including a US submarine attack on another Iranian vessel, IRIS Dena, which killed at least 87 personnel. Simultaneously, India's broadcasting ministry suspended Television Rating Points for four weeks, and domestic cooking gas prices surged during the regional conflict.
