Indian sailors stranded off Iran just want to go home

NEW DELHI: Stranded for two weeks at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas as drones and ​missiles set ships ablaze nearby, 26-year-old seafarer Ambuj says he has not been home for six months and cannot wait to see his family. Ambuj is one of about 23,000 Indians working on merchant, harbor and offshore vessels across the wider Gulf region. Hundreds of tankers and cargo ships have been waiting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian attacks have killed three Indian crew members and left another missing.
