Event Summary

India strongly condemned recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, including GFS Galaxy, MT Al Bahiyah, and Mombasa, during a UN Security Council open debate on July 28-29, 2026. India's Permanent Representative Parvathaneni Harish called for immediate de-escalation and restoration of unimpeded navigation, noting that one Indian was killed, several injured, and one missing in the attacks. The UN reported that Iran declared the Strait closed on July 11 after attacks from July 6, causing daily transits to drop from 49 to as low as 8-15 by mid-July. India also highlighted its economic stakes: $180 billion annual trade with the region, $31 billion FDI, and $52 billion remittances from the Gulf Cooperation Council, with 10 million Indians living there. India reaffirmed support for a two-state solution for Palestine, condemned Houthi attacks on maritime navigation, and condemned attacks on UNIFIL peacekeepers. The US-Israel war against Iran and Houthi strikes on Saudi oil tankers continue to escalate regional tensions.
