NEW DELHI — Family members of Indian seafarers who died in attacks on commercial vessels in and around the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict have urged the Indian government to "immediately" file an official petition with the United Nations regarding the killings. They are demanding $5 million in compensation from both Washington and Tehran for each of about a dozen bereaved families.

The attacks occurred amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the seafarers losing their lives as a direct consequence of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. The families seek prompt action and accountability through international channels.

This development highlights the human cost of the conflict in the region and the call for justice by the affected Indian families.
