World News: What steps did India take for the release of 17 Indians held by Iran?
The world is already witnessing two wars and now the fear of a third war is increasing. Iran has made its first direct attack on Israel. Israel Defense Forces have claimed that Iran has carried out more than 100 drone strikes. But it seems that Iran has already indicated this. Iran has seized an Israeli cargo ship. But what is a matter of concern is that out of the total 25 people on board the ship, which is now in Iran’s possession, 17 are Indians.
As the Israeli cargo ship was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards approached the ship by helicopter and took control of it. Now questions are being raised that what will happen to the 17 Indians trapped in the ship? How will the Indian government release him?
What does the Indian government say?
The Indian government says it is committed to the safety of its citizens. India is in constant touch with Iran. We have demanded the early release of all 17 Indians from Iran. India is in touch with Iranian authorities through diplomatic channels in both Tehran and Iran.

At the same time, the Indian government has assured the families of the stranded Indians that it will soon bring them home safely.
The ship seized by Iran belongs to London-based Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. It is said that this ship had left for India from a port in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
