The United States reportedly issued nearly 60 verbal warnings and multiple shows of force before launching a strike on the tanker MT Settebello near Oman, an attack that killed three Indian sailors. According to U.S. officials, the vessel repeatedly ignored instructions and failed to comply with efforts to stop it. American forces eventually targeted the ship's engine room after giving the crew time to evacuate. The incident has triggered strong protests from India and intensified concerns over maritime safety and escalating tensions in the Gulf region.
