Indian seafarers working on commercial ships near Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have claimed that vessels carrying Indian crew members are being repeatedly targeted amid ongoing military strikes in the Gulf. "We are in Iran and the situation here is very bad. Only Indian-crewed ships are being attacked," a seafarer said in a video shared online. "We are not soldiers. We come on contract to work. Then why are we being attacked?" he added. The claims come after a tanker carrying Indian sailors was hit near Oman last week. Three Indian seafarers were killed in the attack. Another vessel with 24 Indian crew members was also targeted, but all were later rescued. The US said the strikes targeted sanctioned vessels, while Iran condemned the attacks.
