The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions after India lodged a strong protest over the deaths of three Indian mariners aboard a commercial tanker, while Washington maintained that vessels must comply with US enforcement measures targeting Iranian oil shipments.
A diplomatic row has emerged between India and the United States following a US enforcement operation in the Gulf of Oman that resulted in the deaths of three Indian sailors aboard a commercial tanker.
The issue figured prominently during a conversation between Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on June 13, with New Delhi expressing deep concern over the use of force against civilian shipping and the safety of Indian crew members operating in the region.
India has also reportedly summoned US diplomats and conveyed its objections following multiple incidents involving Indian-crewed vessels this week.
