13 Indians killed, 3 missing in Gulf since February 28 amid US-Iran war

Thirteen Indians have lost their lives and three are unaccounted for in the Gulf region since late February, amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran. These casualties stem from attacks on commercial ships, highlighting the dangerous implications for global trade routes. India is deeply concerned about the safety of its citizens and the broader impact on international shipping, urging all parties to allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to maintain global commerce. This crisis underscores the urgent need for de-escalation to protect both human lives and economic stability.
