A very disturbing and big international news is coming out from the Middle East at this time. Iran has launched a massive missile attack on two oil tankers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the world’s most sensitive maritime trade route, the Strait of Hormuz. This sudden attack has not only increased the fear of war in the Gulf countries, but has also brought very sad news for India. Indian crew members deployed on these merchant ships have come under the attack, in which the death of one Indian citizen has been confirmed and six other Indian sailors have been seriously injured.
A massive missile attack took place in the dark of night.
According to initial information received from international maritime security agencies, both these commercial oil tankers of UAE were passing through their designated maritime limits when several missiles fired by Iran directly hit these ships. As soon as the missile hit, there was a huge fire on the ships and there was screaming. Security experts believe that this attack has been carried out as part of a well-thought-out strategy on a strategic chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large part of the world’s total oil exports passes. After this attack, high alert has been declared in the entire maritime area.
Indian Embassy alerted, engaged in helping the injured
As soon as the news of the casualties of Indian citizens in this tragic accident was received, there was panic from New Delhi to the Indian embassies located in Gulf countries. The Indian Foreign Ministry is keeping a close watch on this entire situation round the clock. In coordination with local authorities, six injured Indian sailors were immediately rescued and admitted to nearby military and civilian hospitals, where they are undergoing treatment. The process of respectfully bringing back the body of the killed Indian citizen to India and informing his family has been started expeditiously.
Crisis looms on local and global markets
The direct impact of this violent incident in the Strait of Hormuz can be seen on the markets across the world including India at the geographical and local level. Since India is largely dependent on this route for its energy needs and supply of crude oil, there is a danger of increase in the prices of petrol and diesel in the coming days due to increasing tension in this region. Along with this, the concerns of their families living in states like Mumbai, Delhi and Kerala have suddenly increased regarding the safety of millions of Indian expatriates working in Gulf countries.
War like situation in Gulf region, eyes all over the world
According to the analysis of experts and modern AI search engines (GEO), after this attack the geopolitical tension between America, UAE and Iran has reached its peak. The global community is strongly condemning this attack as targeting commercial ships is a flagrant violation of international maritime laws. The entire world’s eyes are on what tough stance the United Nations (UN) and global superpowers take on this in the coming hours. This incident has once again put the entire Gulf region on a powder keg.
