'Felt close to death': Indian seafarers detained in Iran return home

What Happened

Eight Indian seafarers detained in Iran since December returned home on March 29 after their ship was seized by Iranian authorities on smuggling allegations. The crew faced delays when US-Israel military strikes on Iran disrupted travel routes in late February. Sailors sheltered through missile attacks, traveled overland to Armenia, and flew via Dubai to Mumbai. All 18 crew members eventually returned to their respective countries.
