The commercial ship MT El Gaiya was attacked on Sunday off the coast of Oman. There were 14 Indians on board the ship. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that 13 Indian crew members have been rescued. One Indian is still missing and the search is on. The Foreign Ministry condemned the attack. The ministry said that a rescue operation is underway to find the missing Indian. According to the ministry, the Indian Embassy in Oman is monitoring the situation. The Embassy is in constant touch with the Omani authorities. However, neither the US nor the Iranian military has yet taken responsibility for the attack. This statement of India has come at a time when the news of attack on an Iranian cargo ship near Qeshm Island of Iran also came to light on Sunday morning. This area falls in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian state media, one person died and four were injured in the attack. After the attack, the ship caught fire and an evacuation operation was started. Qeshm Governor Hussein Amirteimuri told Tasnim that the ship was attacked by a projectile. He held America responsible for this. A few hours before this attack, Iranian President Masoud Pazhakian had said on social media that the people of Iran cannot be made to bow down through pressure. He said, ‘Iran will not surrender.’ Report- Iran-Oman reached an agreement on the new route in Hormuz. Iran and Oman have signed an agreement regarding the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s news agency Tasnim quoted Iranian officials as saying that the two countries have finalized the route for ships to and from Hormuz. Gulf countries will be informed about this agreement in a regional meeting to be held in Muscat, the capital of Oman on Monday. Iranian President Masoud Pazhakian said that the foreign ministers of the Arab countries of the region will meet in Oman. In this, a consensus will be reached regarding the route to Hormuz. After this, information about this arrangement will be given to the International Maritime Organization. New route entirely within Iranian territory Under the new agreement, the route to Hormuz from Gulf countries will be entirely in Iran’s territorial waters. A portion of the exit route will also remain in Iran’s territorial waters. Tasneem has given this information quoting Iranian sources. After the arrangement is agreed upon, the southern route to Hormuz will be directly closed. This is against America’s demand. Hormuz divided into two routes after the war. Before the war started, Hormuz was considered to be a single sea route. Ships used to pass through fixed routes. But after increasing tension between America and Iran, this important sea route got divided into two different routes. Iranian Way: It is near the coast of Iran in the northern part of Hormuz. It passes close to Larak and Qishm islands and goes to Iran’s ports and oil terminals. Omani route: It is in the southern part of Hormuz, close to Oman and off the coast of Iran. America insists on ships passing through this route. Many commercial ships operating under the protection of the US Navy also use this route. ——————- Also read this news… After Hormuz, now there is a crisis on the second oil route: Houthi rebels capture Al Mandeb; Said- We will not stop anyone’s ship except Saudi Arabia.
