Israel Targets Iran’s Security Forces & Leadership

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A top Sri Lankan official says 32 people have been rescued from a sinking Iranian naval ship off Sri Lanka’s southern coast and have been admitted to a hospital. Dr. Anil Jasinghe, a top health ministry official, said on Wednesday that one of them is in critical condition, seven are receiving emergency treatment and others are treated for minor injuries. Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath told Parliament that Sri Lanka’s navy received information that the ship Iris Dena with 180 onboard was under distress, and that the island nation sent ships and air force planes on a rescue mission. There were no immediate details as to how the sailors were wounded and how the ship was damaged.
