Indian Crew Fired Upon in Hormuz as Union Publishes Alleged IRGC Attack Footage

A vessel with an Indian crew was reportedly fired upon while sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that connects the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea. The Union Ministry of External Affairs subsequently released video footage it says captures the attack and attributes it to forces linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The clip depicts gunfire aimed at the ship, though the Ministry has not provided precise timing or location details. No official casualty figures have been released, and the Ministry said it is seeking clarification from Iranian authorities. The episode underscores heightened concerns about maritime security in the strategically vital strait.
