Another Indian Sailor Dies In Hormuz: Will Iran's Tanker Strike Put India's Balancing Act To Test?
The death of an Indian seafarer and injuries to six others after Iranian cruise missiles struck two UAE oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz
The death of an Indian seafarer and injuries to six others after Iranian cruise missiles struck two UAE oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have once again put New Delhi in a difficult diplomatic position. The latest attack, which Iran says targeted vessels that ignored repeated warnings, comes weeks after multiple Indian sailors were caught in the crossfire of the widening conflict in one of the world’s busiest energy corridors.
On July 13, Iranian cruise missiles hit two UAE-flagged oil tankers navigating the southern shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz in Omani territorial waters. The UAE said one Indian crew member was killed while several others were injured. Iran later defended the strike, claiming the vessels had violated warnings and were engaged in what it described as “illegal activities."
