‘Approached from a point of humanity,’ Jaishankar on why India let Iran warship dock in Kochi
India's Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar stated that the country allowed an Iranian warship to dock in Kochi, citing a humanitarian gesture following the U.S. sinking of another Iranian vessel off Sri Lanka. The incident occurred on March 4th, 2026, with the U.S. submarine torpedoing the Iranian warship IRIS Dena, killing 83 people. The Indian government faced criticism for its silence regarding the attack. Jaishankar emphasized that India's decision was made from a humanitarian perspective and considered the "reality of the Indian Ocean."
