Tensions intensified after the United Arab Emirates reported attacks for the first time since the ceasefire, with multiple commercial vessels struck in the region. A major UAE oil port was set ablaze following what authorities described as an Iranian strike, raising alarm over the security of one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
The United States, under President Donald Trump, stated that its naval forces destroyed six small Iranian boats in response to hostile actions at sea. Washington’s military operations, aimed at securing maritime traffic, have further heightened tensions in the already volatile region.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the situation, reaffirmed India’s position, stating that India stands in firm solidarity with the United Arab Emirates. He emphasized support for resolving all disputes through dialogue and diplomacy. He also underscored that ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is essential for regional peace, stability, and global energy security.
As military exchanges continue and critical infrastructure comes under threat, the ceasefire now faces its most serious test since its declaration four weeks ago, with fears of a broader regional escalation growing rapidly.
