India's ships face attacks and safe passage in Strait of Hormuz

Several ships connected to India were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil shipments. One oil tanker with 15 Indian crew members was hit, injuring four people, and a cargo ship bound for India caught fire after an attack.

Iran, which controls the strait, then granted safe passage to Indian vessels. Officials said their embassy tried to help after two Indian gas carriers crossed the area. The U.S. energy secretary suggested India could help secure the strait.
