The recent conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran has extended beyond the Middle East, impacting the Indian Ocean region. An Iranian destroyer sank near Sri Lanka, resulting in casualties and raising security concerns for India, which has significant interests in the Gulf. In response, India has deployed the INS Surat, a stealth guided missile destroyer, near the Gulf of Oman to support evacuation and relief operations amid disrupted flights and maritime trade routes. This deployment aligns with India's ongoing naval missions to protect shipping lanes and ensure regional stability.
