Three Indian sailors were confirmed killed in an incident off Shinas port in Oman, marking the third maritime attack linked to the United States this week. The event followed the U.S. military’s firing on the Palau‑flagged vessel MT Settebello, also off Oman’s coast.

    1. It is deeply unfortunate to learn of the tragic incident aboard the Palau-flagged MT Settebello. Sadly, three Indian seafarers initially reported missing are now confirmed dead after two bodies were recovered... I have directed officials to ensure immediate repatriation of the rescued crew members and swift return of the mortal remains of the deceased for their final rites.

    1. US Central Command (CENTCOM) acted against Guinea-Bissau flagged M/T Jalveer as ⁠it attempted to ⁠transport oil from Iran through the Gulf of Oman. A US ⁠aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles ⁠into the ship's ⁠engine room after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions ‌from US forces.

    1. No warning call, message, or communication was ever successfully established with the vessel prior to the actions taken against it.

    1. I absolutely refuse to believe that the US lacked information regarding the nationalities of the people on board those ships. That is simply not possible. I am 101% certain that US naval forces knew exactly how many Indians and foreign nationals were on those vessels. If the ships failed to heed their instructions, detaining them was a viable alternative.
    2. The three are from Himachal Pradesh, Deoria (Uttar Pradesh), and Andhra Pradesh.
    3. The latest information I have indicates that two have died, while the chief engineer is still reported as missing.
    4. We have been unable to establish a connection with the ship.
    5. If the vessel is sanctioned, or if the vessel is blocked, and it is a shadow (fleet) vessel, then it is the duty of the US to take control of that vessel and remove all the seafarers, and evacuate all the seafarers safely to go back home. Why attack innocent people who are not carrying weapons or anything dangerous to their military?
    6. They are still not able to believe that this happened.
    7. I spoke with the father of the cadet, and I have sent my people to meet the family of the fitter in Uttar Pradesh, and my Andhra offices were speaking with the family of the chief engineer.

    1. The main problem at the moment is that both sides are trying to negotiate from a position of strength.
