India, New Zealand summon Iranian diplomats in wake of attacks in Strait of Hormuz

Following recent Iranian strikes on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, India and New Zealand summoned Iranian diplomats on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. India's External Affairs Ministry summoned Iran's representatives in Delhi after two ships carrying 30 Indian sailors were attacked, resulting in one death and ten injuries. The ministry stated, "We strongly condemn these attacks and acts of violence targeting seafarers and disrupting free and safe navigation through international waterways like the Strait of Hormuz." New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade also called in the Iranian Ambassador to express "serious concerns regarding recent escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and across the Gulf region," urging immediate de-escalation and a return to diplomacy.
