As US and Iran weigh peace deal, stranded seafarers wait in limbo

An Indian seafarer, granted a pseudonym, has been stranded at an Iranian port for nearly 10 weeks, witnessing the Iran war firsthand. He arrived on a cargo ship days before the US launched an operation, and has been stuck ever since. Many fellow Indian seafarers have been unable to return home due to unpaid salaries or difficulties crossing the land border with Armenia. The seafarer has been surviving on a limited diet, and food and water on other ships are reportedly running low.
