‘Like living in hell’: The Iran war leaves Indian seafarers dead and trapped at sea
Indian seafarers are dying and stranded in the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Israeli war on Iran. Three Indian crew members, including Patnala Suresh, were killed when a US military strike hit the MT Settebello tanker, which US authorities claimed failed to comply with instructions. Over 40 commercial vessels have been attacked since the conflict began on 28 February.
