India deploys destroyer, patrol vessel to Gulf of Oman

[faithfulguy]

June 21 (UPI) -- The Indian Navy said Friday it has deployed two warships to the Gulf of Oman to protect the country's shipping vessels amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Indian Navy destroyer Chennai and patrol vessel Sunayna have been deployed to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman for maritime security as part of Operation Sankalp, it said in a statement.

Navy aircraft have also been dispatched to conduct aerial surveillance in the area, it said.

"The Information Fusion Center-Indian Ocean region, which was launched by the [Indian Navy] in December 2018 at Gurugram, is also keeping a close watch on the movement of ships in the Gulf region," the navy said in a statement.

The decision comes after the Indian Directorate General of Shipping issued two advisories on June 13 and then on Sunday to all Indian ships operating in the area to take appropriate precautions.

On Thursday, Iran said it shot down a U.S. drone in its airspace, further escalating tensions in the region.

The United States said the drone was in international waters, which Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif countered by saying pieces of the drone had been retrieved from their side of international waters.

Tensions in the area have ratcheted up between the United States and Iran since two tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman on June 13. The United States has blamed Iran for the attack. Iran has denied the allegations.

On Thursday, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a warningbarring U.S. airlines from flying through certain sections of Iranian airspace near the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.

Dear Iran wake up.

The Indian Navy is deploying multiple vessels to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, to provide “security” for Indian-flagged ships traversing the area. The decision follows multiple attacks on merchant ships there.

Designating the move “Operation Sankalp” (resolution), an Indian Navy spokesperson announced on Thursday that two warships would be deployed for “maritime security” in the troubled waters between Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The vessels will be backed up by air cover and surveillance assets.

Ships Chennai and Sunayna have been deployed in the Gulf of Oman and Persian Gulf to undertake Maritime Security operations. In addition, aerial surveillance by [Indian] aircraft is also being undertaken in the area.

The already strained situation in the Persian Gulf intensified dramatically after two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman last week. While no concrete evidence proving who was responsible has been released, US authorities have blamed Iran for the incident. The escalating stand-off eventually led to Iran downing a US surveillance drone.

Proving that they are not messing around and given the still highly volatile situation, one of the vessels New Delhi has sent out for security detail is the INS Chennai, a stealth guided-missile destroyer regarded as one of the most powerful warships in India’s fleet.

Dear neighbor who is your enemy now? In this hard time on you? Next time you give ports and trade routes to India remember their ships are in Oman waters not Iran waters and those ships are with anti air missile to defend. What do anti-air defend against? Pirates or Iran? Maritime security has never been attacked by anti-air. Lol wake up Iran the RSS has already taken sides.

So you are there to save your ships from collateral damage and how do you plan to do that? Attacking Iranian jets with anti-air missiles from ships?

The choice of ship India deployed speaks a volume what India plans to defend against. The threat is under water mines of in air?

Iran is the reason we are facing problems in Baluchistan. Iran and India both are playing dirty games there. I wish USA attack Iran. Iran is also creating disturbance in many other gulf countries. They needs to learn the lesson this time.

India is India, and it always will be India. Smart players know not to trust the thievery of Brahministan. However, Iran/Persia makes dumber and dumber mistakes every time it rises to power in history. Did you expect India to be your bff's because of Chabahar or perhaps because your mullahs foolishly mistrust pk? Choose your buddies wisely next time your civilization graces the world stage, if there ever is a next time.

I'm afraid for what Pompeo and Bolton are planning. Do you really think they didn't want you to shoot their drone down?

I hope you can thwart them, really I do. But if Bolton finally gets his way over Trump, I don't think you can.

But still India has no toilets. Yet they are supa pawa.

The Russians, Americans, and Iranians very well know they are not gonna get India onto their side to fighting their wars. We're nobody's little bitch who can bark on their behalf, fight the master's wars, be a security guard etc... etc...

Lol Indian have given a name to this operation against Iran as well.

Lol, u just assumed that it actually is Iran that targeted the ships and that India deployed its ships to attack Iran....Genius man, BTW ur economy understanding is also this kinda genius. wasnt indian economy supposed to crash?

So you are there to save your ships from collateral damage and how do you plan to do that? Attacking Iranian jets with anti-air missiles from ships?

Theres a reason diplomacy was invented.....military is always the last resort. IN is there to protect indian ships...And Iran aint fool to attack Indian interests as India can lobby with USA to take softer stance on Iran. We have good relations with both.....Guess you dont understand the give and take on diplomacy.
