Attacks on ships ‘unacceptable’, says India; Trump blames Iran

Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the U.S. attacks on three ships with Indian crew, calling them "attacks on Indian commercial vessels." The External Affairs Ministry summoned the Charge d'Affaires of the U.S. Embassy to protest the use of lethal force against civilian shipping and expressed concern over its impact on international maritime commerce. The incident is expected to be discussed at the upcoming IORA meeting, where India will likely raise concerns about attacks on civilians working on merchant vessels in the Indian Ocean.
