India has summoned Iran's ambassador after Iranian forces fired on an Indian-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. No crew injuries or ship damage were reported. The vessel had to change course after gunfire from Iranian Revolutionary Guard units. The Ministry of External Affairs called in the Iranian envoy to register India's "serious concerns and displeasure." New Delhi wants to know under what authority Iran fired on civilian ships in one of the world's busiest sea lanes. India's Directorate General of Shipping is now monitoring the situation. Seafarer safety remains the government's top priority. (PC: India Today)
