India summons US envoy twice as US strikes 3 Indian sailors in Hormuz #hormuz #India #news #US

[00:00:00]Three Indian sailors are dead. The United States says it was counterterrorism. Their families say it was abandonment. This week, the Strait of Hormuz claimed three more workers who had no side in this war.

[00:00:13]Progressive and anti-war voices say [music] the math is brutal and simple.

[00:00:17]Working-class South Asian sailors are dying for a geopolitical dispute between Washington and Tehran that they never voted [music] for and could never escape.

[00:00:27]But the hawkish counterargument hits back hard. Iranian-linked vessels have weaponized commercial shipping lanes for years. And without US strikes, >> [music] >> those corridors become resupply lines for armed militias.

[00:00:40]India has now summoned the US Deputy Chief of Mission twice in [music] rapid succession. One of the dead, Suresh from Andhra Pradesh, leaves behind his wife Bargavi and two young sons aged 13 [music] and 10.

[00:00:54]But here is what most people miss. Those sailors died on ships flying foreign flags. Panama, Marshall Islands, Liberia. No state fully protected [music] them. Their families must now negotiate with private insurers, not governments.
