New Delhi covers the attack with a direct citizen angle: three Indian nationals were wounded in Fujairah — a painful reminder that the 8 million Indians working in the Gulf are exposed to the physical consequences of a war that is not theirs
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
For Indian press, the Fujairah attack is immediately personalized: three compatriots were wounded. NDTV relays the Fujairah media office statement confirming the injuries. The article notes that over 8 million Indians work in Gulf countries, roughly 3.5 million in the UAE alone. A second NDTV article covers the ADNOC tanker attack, citing UAE foreign ministry: 'Using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represents acts of piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.' Indian coverage carefully avoids taking sides in the US-Iran conflict, maintaining New Delhi's non-alignment tradition.
