Iranian crews evacuated to Sri Lanka from two vessels after US attack on warship last Wednesday.

Sri Lanka will grant free one-month visas to Iranian sailors rescued from distressed naval vessels, allowing them to remain in the island nation under humanitarian protection, a senior government minister said.

Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala said the temporary visas would be issued to survivors brought to Sri Lanka after maritime incidents involving Iranian vessels in the Indian Ocean.
