A Mozambique-flagged liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker carrying 28 Indian crew members was attacked in Iranian territorial waters on Friday, the Indian Embassy in Tehran said. In a statement posted on X, the embassy confirmed that all Indian crew members are safe and said it is in contact with the relevant authorities following the incident.
The vessel, named Disha, was attacked by an unknown missile near the Strait of Hormuz while en route to the Arabian Gulf, the Forward Seamen's Union of India, a trade union representing Indian maritime workers, said on X.
The Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and Oman, was the main transit route for around a fifth of global energy supplies before the conflict erupted in Iran.
Tensions have escalated since a fragile truce between Washington and Tehran collapsed in early July, reviving heavy exchanges of strikes and further disrupting shipping through the waterway.
