India condemned the U.S. strike on the oil tanker M/T Settebello in the Gulf of Oman, calling the attack on a vessel carrying Indian crew unacceptable, according to a single report cited by Abu Ali Express. The Palau-flagged tanker was disabled by U.S. Central Command after it ignored warnings while attempting to transport Iranian crude in defiance of the blockade. Of the 24 Indian nationals on board, 21 were evacuated and three remain unaccounted for, with footage showing visible damage to the vessel. The same tanker was targeted once before by CENTCOM two days ago, also in the Gulf of Oman, as The Zioneer previously reported (June 10). The current condition of the missing crew members has not been independently confirmed.
