]]> <![CDATA[Indian Marine Engineer Dies After Oman Vessel Attack]]> OmanMoments 87362420260715 An Indian national who went missing after an attack on the commercial vessel GFS Galaxy off the coast of Oman is dead, his father-in-law said on Wednesday.

Heramb Karmarkar, 30, was a marine engineer on the Cyprus-flagged container ship that was attacked off the coast of Oman on Sunday.

The vessel had 11 Indians in its 24-member crew. Cyprus authorities said it was hit by an “unidentified projectile”.

Iran said it struck the ship after it tried to move through an unauthorised route, despite warnings to change course.

Karmarkar’s father-in-law, Vivek Tandon, told Reuters that the company operating the vessel had informed him of his son-in-law’s death.

India’s foreign ministry had not immediately responded to a request for comment on Wednesday.

Karmarkar is the second Indian seafarer to be killed in the region in three days.

Another Indian seafarer was killed on Tuesday after two vessels were attacked while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

New Delhi lodged a strong protest with Iran after summoning its deputy ambassador over Tuesday’s killing.

Tehran says it has again closed the Strait of Hormuz after hostilities with Washington reignited last week. However, U.S. President Donald Trump said the waterway is open to all shipping traffic except that of Iran.

]]> <![CDATA[Oman Reaffirms Cooperation on Strait of Hormuz Navigation]]> OmanMoments 87356420260715 Oman's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it is keeping up transparent and neutral cooperation with all sides to help restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The ministry said Oman remains committed to international maritime law as tensions rise between Washington and Tehran over the key shipping route.

Oman's Neutral Diplomatic Stance

In its statement, the Foreign Ministry said Oman continues its "transparent and neutral cooperation" with all parties that want to restore safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. It added that the Sultanate is fully committed to its duties under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

US-Iran Tensions Over the Strait of Hormuz

The statement comes as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to rise over the strategic waterway. Both sides have exchanged attacks despite a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding meant to end the conflict. US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Washington would likely take control of operations in the strait and expects other countries to pay for protecting the important shipping lane. Iran's military said it will not allow the US to "interfere" in the management of the strait.

Oman Condemns Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

Oman also condemned missile attacks by Yemen's Houthi group targeting Saudi Arabia. It expressed solidarity with Riyadh and its efforts "to safeguard its sovereignty, security and stability." Saudi air defenses intercepted ballistic missiles launched from Yemen on Monday. The attack came hours after Yemen's Defense Ministry said its forces struck the Sanaa airport runway, after claiming the Houthis blocked Yemeni flights from landing while allowing an Iranian plane to land "in violation of the Yemeni territory."
