Times of India·Wednesday, 8 July 2026
Nine Indian ships carrying more than 190 seafarers are still in waters near the Strait of Hormuz as the US launched strikes on Iran following attacks on merchant vessels. Three tankers were struck by projectiles in the region, with one catching fire off the coast of Oman. The situation puts Indian sailors directly in the middle of a fast-escalating conflict.
