Old video shows Iran attack on Indian-crewed ship in Hormuz
A video released by the Forward Seamen's Union of India shows an attack on a Panama-flagged container ship with 21 Indian crew members in the Strait of Hormuz on April 22. The footage, obtained by Times Now, shows boats of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps surrounding the vessel 'Euphoria' and firing a rocket-propelled grenade, forcing the crew to take cover. No crew were harmed.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Times Now frames the story around the attack video and crew distress, while SCMP covers Iran granting passage to two Indian gas tankers, highlighting the geopolitical negotiation. The SCMP report shows a diplomatic channel open, which Times Now omits. A careful reader should note that both threats and exemptions coexist: Indian seafarers face danger, but India is also securing passage for key energy shipments. Watch for more such exemptions or escalations as India navigates the Iran-US-Israel tensions.
