The United States has confirmed that it carried out a strike on a third tanker near Oman, saying the Guinea-Bissau-flagged vessel Jalveer violated a blockade by attempting to transport Iranian oil through the Gulf of Oman. India's shipping ministry said all 20 Indian sailors on board are safe. The development comes after US attacks on two other ships, including the Palau-flagged Settebello, where three Indian sailors were killed on Wednesday. Another vessel, Marivex, was disabled earlier this week as tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate across the region. (PC: BBC)
