An Indian national has been killed after Iran reportedly targeted a US-owned oil tanker, Safesea Vishnu, near the waters of Iraq using a “suicide boat”. The attack is part of escalating maritime strikes during the ongoing conflict involving United States, Israel and Iran. According to reports, at least three Indian nationals have died and more than 20 others have been injured in Iranian strikes on merchant vessels in recent days. Earlier attacks also targeted ships such as MV MKD Vyom and MV Skylight near Oman. India has issued advisories for citizens across Gulf nations, where millions of Indians live and work, as tensions continue to rise.
