4. Iranian naval ship carrying 180 onboard sinks off Sri Lankan coast, leaving dozens missing, 32 rescued

Sri Lankan ships and aircraft did some of the rescuing.

Information is sketchy right now. This was the murder of @ least 100 Iranians because
we have not had a formal declaration of war which requires a vote by congress.
