Jaishankar called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to protest US Navy strikes in the Gulf of Oman that killed three Indian mariners, saying “such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified,” while the US side insisted violations of its Iran blockade “will not be tolerated” and that all commercial vessels must comply with US orders. Escalating Protests: India has now summoned the US chargé d’affaires Jason Meeks again after the attacks, pressing Washington over the use of lethal force against civilian shipping. Political Pressure at Home: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor slammed the US response as “tone deaf,” noting it offered no condolences, as Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Modi of staying silent.

Regional Context: The dispute is tied to the wider Strait of Hormuz crisis and US-Iran tensions, with Trump blaming Iran even as Tehran rejects the allegation.
