Jaishankar calling US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and saying “lethal actions” against commercial shipping are not justified. Diplomatic Pressure: India summoned US Chargé d’Affaires Jason Meeks again, while the US side insisted that violations of its Iran blockade “will not be tolerated” and that commercial vessels must comply with US orders. On-the-Ground Updates: Oman authorities rescued crews from disabled tankers, and India’s MEA also moved to debunk a separate rumor about MT Liaki Freedom being attacked, saying all crew were safe. Industry Angle: With the Strait of Hormuz key for global oil flows, the dispute is raising fresh concerns for shipping safety and compliance risks for civilian operators.
