India on Friday summoned US Chargé d’Affaires Jason Meeks for the second time in a week after a third attack on a commercial vessel carrying Indian crew members near the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows the death of three Indian seafarers in a recent strike on the tanker MT Settebello off Oman. New Delhi lodged a strong diplomatic protest, expressing concern over the safety of Indian nationals and escalating maritime tensions in the Gulf region. The Ministry of External Affairs called for an immediate end to attacks on civilian shipping and urged all sides to pursue dialogue and de-escalation. (PC: India Today)
