Iranian coastguards rescued 11 Indian sailors whose vessel, en route to Oman, sank due to bad weather conditions, state media reported on Wednesday.
"The boat - that was heading to the port of Sohar in Oman yesterday - came toward Iranian waters due to storms, bad weather conditions and technical problems," acting governor of Jask County (south), Ali Mehrani, was quoted as saying by state broadcaster IRIB.
The vessel was transporting sugar, and sank four nautical miles off Gabrik district in southern Hormozgan province, overlooking the Gulf of Oman, Mehrani added.
"The general condition of the crew is good", he said.
