India is working to ensure safety of its citizens
With about 10 million Indians living in the Gulf and 28 Indian ships moving through risky waters, safety is a big concern.
The Indian government has set up a control room, moved some citizens to safer spots (especially students in Iran), and is sharing regular updates.
All Indians there are being urged to stay connected with local embassies and follow official advice for their own safety.
