Iran has announced that it will retain exclusive oversight of the Strait of Hormuz for the next 30 days, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that no other country has authority over the strategic waterway during this period.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday confirmed that three Indian seafarers have died following an attack on the Palau-flagged commercial vessel MT Settebello near the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. The incident has raised fresh concerns over the safety of Indian crew members operating in the volatile Gulf maritime corridor.
