U.S. Military Strikes on Tankers Result in Deaths of Indian Crew Members

The U.S. military has attacked three tankers in three days, including the M/T Settebello, which resulted in the deaths of three Indian crew members.
India's government condemned the attacks and summoned the deputy head of the U.S. embassy to lodge an official protest.
The U.S. claims the tankers violated a blockade against Iran, while the managing company of Settebello denies any wrongdoing and calls for evidence of communication with the ship.
