Evacuated Second Iran navy ship seeks safety in Sri Lanka

March 06, 2026

Sri Lanka has evacuated 208 crew members from an Iranian navy vessel that made an emergency request to dock, a day after a US submarine strike sank another Iranian frigate, killing more than 80 people on board.

Sri Lanka’s president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, yesterday confirmed that the country’s navy would take over Iranian military support ship IRIS Bushehr and allow it to dock at the northeastern port of Trincomalee.

The Iranian military vessel had requested permission from the Sri Lankan navy to come into port, citing engine issues. The call came a day after a US torpedo destroyed IRIS Dena, an Iranian warship, on Tuesday night as it headed home after taking part in a military training exercise in India. The attack quickly sank the vessel and killed at least 84 sailors.

The Sri Lankan government spent hours deliberating the request made by the second Iranian ship amid fears it could be the target of another attack. Dissanayake said his government had discussed the docking of the ship directly with the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi.
