WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) – The United States military carried out a strike that hit an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka’s coast, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
One of the officials, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was carried out by a U.S. military submarine.
Earlier, Sri Lankan authorities said they had rescued 32 people who were on board the ship and recovered several bodies from the sea.
