17 Indians on board ship captured by Iran’s navy; India is trying to return safely

After increased tension between Israel and Iran, rumors of another war have intensified in Western Asia. Meanwhile, Iran’s Navy has captured the cargo ship of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer. Now a big news has come out regarding this ship. It is being told that there are seventeen Indians on board this ship. Sources said India is in touch with Iranian authorities through diplomatic channels in the capital Delhi and Tehran for the safe release of the Indians on board.

It is also being claimed in the media report that this ship was coming towards India and a total of 25 crew members are present in it. According to reports, Iran’s Navy captured this ship of an Israeli billionaire coming towards India in the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz. First the Israeli ship was attacked by helicopter and then the Iranian Navy captured it. The name of this ship is MSC Aries and it was last seen on Friday heading from Dubai towards Hormuz. It is reported that the ship had switched off its tracking data. Israeli ships often turn off tracking data when passing through the area.

Why did the Iranian Navy take this action?

Iran’s Navy has taken this action when the Iranian Consulate in Syria was attacked by Israel 12 days ago. On April 1, the Iranian Consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus was attacked by warplanes. The attack killed at least 11 people, including a senior commander of the al-Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). All of them were attending a meeting at the Damascus embassy complex. The attack was blamed on Israel, which did not claim responsibility. Iran has been upset since this attack. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had strongly criticized it and described it as an attack on Iranian soil. He also said that Israel should and will be punished for its operation.

There is also a warning of attack in Israel

In addition, US intelligence agencies have also warned of attacks by Iran inside Israel. Intelligence agencies have also said that Iran can target many military and government-related targets inside Israel. Bloomberg’s report quoting American intelligence assessment says that Iran can launch attacks inside Israel using ballistic missiles or drones. However, it is not clear from the report whether Iran will take direct action or use its proxy network.
