India is working with Iran to free 17 Indians aboard the ‘MSC Aries,’ seized by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions rise amidst fears of Iranian retaliation against Israel. The ship, partly owned by an Israeli businessman, was taken by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Israeli forces warn of consequences, while the UK’s maritime agency confirms the ship’s seizure without mentioning Iranian involvement. Tensions escalated after an attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria, with reports of Iranian casualties. US President Biden reaffirms support for Israel, urging Iran to refrain from further escalation.
