In Uttar Pradesh, tensions escalated as protests in Noida turned violent, prompting the government to set up a committee to address industrial unrest and prevent further flare-ups. And at least 15 Indian-flagged vessels are stranded near the Strait of Hormuz after the United States moved to block Iranian ports following failed ceasefire talks, disrupting one of the world’s most critical energy routes.
