AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 minutes agoGulf Tensions, India-US Row: India’s foreign minister S. Jaishankar called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to lodge a strong protest over US Navy strikes on three largely Indian-crewed merchant vessels off Oman that killed three Indian mariners, saying lethal force against commercial shipping is “not justified.” Diplomatic Escalation: New Delhi also summoned US Chargé d’Affaires Jason Meeks again in New Delhi for the second time in two days, after earlier protests over the June 8 MT Marivex and June 10 MT Settebello incidents, and after a June 11 strike on the Guinea-Bissau-flagged MT Jalveer where 20 Indian crew were rescued. Misinformation Watch: The MEA swiftly dismissed fresh online claims that the Indian-crewed tanker MT Liaki Freedom was attacked, saying the master confirmed all crew were safe and labeling the reports “fake.” Political Pressure: Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Modi over the deaths, accusing him of silence. Iran Denies Blame: Iran’s embassy in India rejected Trump’s claim that Iran carried out a drone attack on Indian ships near Hormuz as “baseless,” while Trump continued to trade blame between Tehran and Washington.
