Missiles overhead, mines below: This Indian LPG tanker navigated a ‘secret’ Iranian channel to reach home

The Indian LPG tanker Pine Gas and its 27-member crew endured 23 days in the Persian Gulf amid intense Iran-US conflict, witnessing daily missile and drone activity. The crew collectively chose to navigate a risky, mine-free channel offered by Iran, disabling tracking systems to avoid detection. Escorted by Indian Navy warships, Pine Gas safely reached the Arabian Sea, delivering vital LPG supplies to India while 18 other Indian ships remain stranded.
