Three Indian seafarers, Anant Chauhan (21), Ravi Suresh (20), and Chiranjeevi Tithi (28), returned to Mumbai, India, after a harrowing experience aboard the MV Ilda during a conflict in Iran. Their voyage began on February 28 from Jebel Ali, Dubai, but turned perilous when they witnessed missile activity and learned of the assassination of Iran's supreme leader, leading to war. The crew faced extreme fear, food scarcity, and emotional strain as they navigated through dangerous skies.
