India Says LPG Tanker With 28 Indian Crew Members Attacked in Strait of Hormuz

India’s embassy in Iran said an LPG tanker carrying 28 Indian crew members came under attack in Iranian territorial waters in the Strait of Hormuz, with all crew members reported safe. The embassy said on Friday, July 24, that Indian officials were in close contact with relevant authorities and were closely monitoring the situation. “All 28 Indian crew members are safe,” the embassy said in a post on X, without providing further details about the vessel, the nature of the attack or those responsible. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with the Strait of Hormuz emerging as a key flashpoint in the wider regional conflict. The strategically important waterway is a major route for global oil and gas shipments. Any disruption to commercial shipping could have wider consequences for international trade and global energy markets. The United States and Iran have exchanged attacks in recent weeks. Washington has targeted sites inside Iran, while Tehran has said it has carried out attacks against US military positions and assets in several countries across the region. The reported attack adds to growing concerns over the safety of commercial vessels operating in and around the Strait of Hormuz as regional tensions remain high. The circumstances of the incident, including the extent of any damage to the vessel and who may have been responsible, were not immediately clear. The Indian embassy did not provide further details.
