11:28⇢The Thirty Ships Sunk
⌨Indian media's editorial focus remains overwhelmingly on the escalating US-Iran conflict and its direct impact on India, with multiple outlets reporting Iran's attacks on 12 countries including Israel and the US, the sinking of 30 Iranian ships by the US, and the US granting India a 30-day waiver to purchase stranded Russian oil (Dainik Bhaskar, The Hindu, The Print, News18, India Today, ABP Live, Scroll, The Wire Hindi, Firstpost). Coverage emphasizes maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, energy security implications, and historical India-Iran connections, while domestic political stories and a fighter jet crash receive secondary attention.
