India summoned the U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission and lodged a formal protest on June 10, 2026, following attacks on two commercial vessels in the Gulf of Oman. The Settebello, carrying 24 Indian crew members, was attacked on June 10 with three sailors reported missing and 21 rescued; it was the second such incident in three days after an attack on the M/T Marivex. U.S. Central Command described the earlier vessel as non-compliant, while reports differ on whether U.S. forces conducted strikes.
