Collateral Damage, No Regret: Indian Sailor Killings And India-US Equation
US killing of Indian citizens without regret raises serious concerns about accountability.
The US Navy killed three Indian mariners on a merchant ship off the coast of Iran and Oman, but did not express regret for the loss. The incident highlights concerns about US actions against commercial vessels in the Gulf of Oman, particularly given India's close relationship with the US as a strategic partner. India has condemned the attacks, demanding that the US take measures to prevent further civilian casualties. Despite these protests, the US maintained its stance on enforcing the blockade and asserted that violations would not be tolerated. The situation underscores tensions between the two countries regarding maritime security in the region.
