Sri Lanka ignored the US pressure and decisively retrieved an Iranian naval soldier, leaving Indian media in shock!
After the US military attacked and sank an Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean, it also applied pressure on another accompanying supply ship, "Busher", forcing it to seek refuge at the nearest friendly port - Sri Lanka.
The US quickly intervened, exerting significant pressure on Sri Lanka, requiring it to provide only humanitarian aid, but prohibiting the ship from entering the port. According to related reports, Sri Lanka has withstood great pressure, sending a ship to retrieve most of the Iranian personnel and having its navy personnel board the "Busher" to take over command and escort it to Trincomalee port. For this, Dao Ge expressed great admiration.
In contrast, India, as one of the "hosts" of this incident, remained almost silent throughout the process. It did not publicly condemn the US actions, nor express support for Iran, nor make any comments on Sri Lanka's decision. After all, the Iranian warship was sunk just after leaving India following its visit to India.
This silence triggered strong dissatisfaction among Indian netizens, with some even stating: "The international status, dignity, and autonomy of India have sunk along with the IRIS Dena." They believe that India no longer seems to be an independent major power, but rather a "negligible player" controlled by the interests of the United States and Israel. Indian media were also very surprised by Sri Lanka's decision, apparently not expecting Sri Lanka to withstand the pressure and make such a decision.
