Three tankers have been struck by the US military over the past three days, killing at least three people. US forces fired a missile into the engine room of a tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday morning - the third vessel to be targeted.
US Central Command (Centcom) said the ship had violated a blockade of Iranian ports and refused to comply with its directions. Three Indian sailors were killed on Wednesday after a strike by the US. The Indian government condemned the attack, saying the "targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in the region must end".
India's foreign ministry summoned the deputy head of the US embassy in Delhi to lodge an official protest. A further 24 Indian crew were rescued
from a ship off Oman's southern coast on Monday after sending a distress call saying the vessel was on fire and sinking following a US strike.
