Arabian Sea

The Arabian Sea is a body of water located between the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, and East Africa. It is newsworthy due to escalating US-Iran tensions and the struggles of India's Alang ship-breaking yard, which borders its coastline. Recent deployments of US naval assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, to the Arabian Sea highlight the potential for conflict between the US and Iran. These deployments are being compared to build-ups preceding previous strikes. Simultaneously, Alang, India, a major ship recycling center on the Arabian Sea coast, faces decline, impacting India's ship recycling volume. The Arabian Sea's strategic location makes it relevant to geopolitical tensions and economic activities like ship recycling.
