In a series of incidents in the Gulf of Oman, U.S. naval forces have disabled and attacked multiple civilian oil tankers attempting to approach Iranian ports in violation of an ongoing American blockade. The operations, carried out by aircraft from U.S. carriers, targeted vessels including the Palau-flagged Marivex and Settebello, which carried predominantly Indian crews. U.S. Central Command stated that precision munitions were fired into the engineering and steering sections of the ships after crews failed to heed warnings and change course. Officials described the actions as necessary to enforce the blockade aimed at curbing Iranian oil exports amid heightened regional tensions. Omani authorities assisted in rescuing most crew members, airlifting them to safety. Indian authorities confirmed that while many sailors were rescued unharmed, reports from one vessel indicated fatalities and missing personnel among the Indian crew. New Delhi has expressed concern over the safety of its seafarers and sought further details, with some voices raising questions about the proportionality of force used against civilian merchant ships. The events have drawn international attention, with critics accusing the U.S. of endangering civilian lives and potentially violating maritime norms, while supporters argue the tankers were warned and knowingly breached a declared blockade. Rescue operations continue, and diplomatic exchanges are underway as the situation remains fluid. @thetrid.ent
