Will not allow illegal oil shipments from Iran, U.S. tells India
U.S. attacks on Indian ships with casualties are a serious threat to national security.
India summoned U.S. Embassy representative Jason Meeks and lodged its “strong protest” against the missile attacks on ships carrying Indian crew, resulting in a discussion between External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Mr. Jaishankar reiterated India’s strong protest over the U.S. Navy's actions, which killed three Indian mariners. The two nations disagree on the legality of the attacks, with India demanding an apology and the U.S. emphasizing compliance with orders to maintain peace and security in the Strait of Hormuz. This disagreement comes ahead of a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump at the G7 summit next week.
