India summons Iran’s deputy ambassador/deputy chief of mission following attacks in the Strait of Hormuz that kill an Indian seafarer and injure multiple crew members, according to several outlets. India delivers a diplomatic protest and condemnation after the incident, which occurs as tensions in the region remain elevated. Reporting says the strikes target vessels linked to the UAE, including an Emirati oil tanker transiting the waterway. The UAE defense ministry is cited as saying two national vessels are hit by Iranian cruise missiles in the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz. Multiple accounts describe casualties that include the death of one Indian crew member and injuries to others, with figures varying slightly across reports: eight others injured in some accounts, and around 10 injuries mentioned in others. India’s Ministry of External Affairs is described as calling Iran’s deputy envoy, identified in one report as Mohammad Javad Hosseini, to lodge the protest over the killing. Some coverage frames the incident within broader disruption to shipping linked to U.S.-Iran tensions, while all sources focus on India’s diplomatic action in response to the maritime attack and its impact on Indian nationals.
