India condemned recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz at the UNSC, calling the escalation in West Asia deeply concerning. Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish urged immediate de-escalation and restoration of free navigation. India said several citizens were injured and one Indian died in the attacks, while highlighting the region’s importance for trade and energy security.
India has strongly condemned the recent attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, describing the renewed escalation in West Asia as "deeply concerning" and calling for the immediate restoration of free and unimpeded navigation through international waterways.
Addressing a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) open debate on the Middle East on Tuesday, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, said, "After a brief pause in the ongoing conflict in the region, there has been a worrying resumption of attacks and escalation of hostilities. This is deeply concerning, and India calls for an immediate de-escalation of tensions."
Harish strongly condemned attacks on several vessels, including GFS Galaxy, MT Al Bahiyah and MT Mombasa, during their transit through the Strait of Hormuz this month.
"Several Indian citizens were injured, including some seriously; one Indian tragically lost his life, and one is missing, in these attacks. India has consistently condemned acts of violence targeting seafarers and disrupting free and safe navigation through international waterways like the Strait of Hormuz," he said.
