The United States reportedly struck the MT Jalveer tanker in the Strait of Hormuz using Hellfire missiles, amid escalating tensions linked to Iran-related maritime operations. The vessel, which had over 20 Indian crew members on board, was targeted near Oman’s coast during a broader U.S. crackdown on suspected oil smuggling routes. According to reports, all Indian sailors were safely rescued and evacuation efforts were completed without casualties. The incident marks the third such attack on commercial vessels in the region within a week, raising serious concerns over maritime security, regional stability, and the safety of international shipping routes in the Gulf.
