PM Modi Trump Strait Of Hormuz: With Trump Present, PM Modi's "Indians Also Lost Their Lives" Remark At G7 Summit
Potential abuse of power and lack of accountability for civilian casualties.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the G7 leaders, highlighting the human cost of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and calling for the protection of maritime trade routes. He emphasized the need to ensure the safety of seafarers operating globally, particularly in conflict zones. Modi's remarks came after three Indian seafarers died in a US military strike on a Palau-flagged oil tanker, Settebello, earlier this week. The incident followed two other attacks on vessels with Indian crews by US forces, which were attributed to violations of the US blockade of Iranian ports. India lodged a strong protest against the strikes and summoned the US Charge d'Affaires.
