The American military blockade around Iran remains fully operational, with U.S. Central Command claiming that more than 135 commercial vessels have been redirected and nine disabled since the blockade began in April. Even as negotiations continue, Washington has indicated that pressure on Iran has not eased. Amid rising tensions, three Indian seafarers have been confirmed dead after U.S. forces struck the MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman. The vessel was accused of transporting Iranian oil in violation of the U.S. blockade. Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal confirmed that the bodies of the three deceased mariners have been recovered and identified, while 21 others were rescued. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Iran for the attack, alleging Tehran rebuffed the drone strike on ships leaving the Strait of Hormuz and calling the incident “totally unacceptable.” #timesnow #englishnews #india #iran #usa #trump #shipping #gulf #maritime #diplomacy
