Sailors Humanitarian Protection

Sri Lanka has offered humanitarian protection to sailors from Iranian naval vessels threatened by the United States. The country is providing sanctuary to 434 sailors, creating a diplomatic situation in the Indian Ocean.

Talk about a maritime timeout! These Iranian sailors are basically playing international hide-and-seek, with Sri Lanka and India as their super awkward playground chaperones. Who knew geopolitical tensions could look like a naval version of "you can't see me"?
