Three missing Indian seafarers aboard MT Settebello confirmed dead: Sonowal

Three Indian seafarers onboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello, initially reported missing, are now confirmed dead, Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Thursday after bodies were located and identified. It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello, Sonowal said in a social media post. "Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after bodies have been located and identified," he added. The minister added that this is a "profound loss to our maritime family". "The Modi Govt stands firmly with the bereaved during this difficult hour and is fully committed to supporting the next of kin," he added. Sonowal said he has directed officials to ensure immediate repatriation of the rescued crew members and swift return of the mortal remains of the deceased for their final rites.

Kuwait closes its airspace temporarily amid fresh Iranian strikes

Kuwait on Thursday said it closed its airspace over ongoing Iranian attacks. Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation made the announcement. It said flights were being diverted to other airports, without elaborating. Flights circled outside of Kuwait for some time before the announcement, after the military announced its air defences were firing. "This measure comes in light of the state of Kuwait being subjected to sinful Iranian aggressions and the potential risks that may result from this on civil aviation traffic in the region," Kuwait said. Kuwait International Airport took a direct Iranian hit in recent days, killing one person and wounding dozens.

US launches fresh strikes on Iran as Trump says Tehran will 'pay the price'

The US military said Wednesday it began another round of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war. US Central Command said in a social media post that the military was striking "multiple targets in Iran," attacks that were "in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression". The second day of American strikes came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan - all of which host US troops - came under Iranian fire. It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire. They also came a day after the US struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic. Trump has urged Iran to sign a deal to end the war and suggested earlier this week that an agreement could be reached in a matter of days. Iranian media reported that explosions we

More US strikes on Iran coming today, Trump says Tehran will pay the price

The United States launched airstrikes early Wednesday against Iran, and Tehran fired back at countries in the region. The escalating attacks threatened to derail efforts to end the war, as US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled peace negotiations. Trump's warning came hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan - all of which host US troops - came under Iranian fire. It was the second time this week that back-and-forth strikes have tested a two-month ceasefire. On Monday, Iran and Israel targeted each other. It was not clear what Trump's post on Truth Social would mean for Tehran, and the comments underlined the American leader's whipsaw approach to the war. He suggested on Monday that a deal to end the conflict could be reached in a matter of days. Iran, meanwhile, has proved resilient despite having faced weeks of heavy bombing. It is betting that its ability to effectively close the Strait of Hormuz - a crucial passageway for the world's oil and

India summons US charge d'affaires over attack on tanker off Oman coast

India on Wednesday summoned US charge d'affaires Jason Meeks and lodged a strong protest over a US attack on a commercial tanker with 24 Indian crew members off the coast of Oman, sources said. Three of the 24 crew members on board the vessel went missing following the attack. In its reaction, New Delhi said the targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in West Asia must end, and free and unimpeded navigation through the international waterways should be restored at the earliest. The attack on commercial vessel Settebello came two days after a Palao-flagged vessel with 24 Indians came under attack of the US Navy as the ship tried to evade the US blockade of Iranian ports. "We condemn the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello off the coast of Oman, earlier today. Of the 24 Indian crew onboard, 21 Indians have been rescued thus far and three Indians are reportedly missing," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. It said the Indian embassy in Oman is clo
