US forces conducted precision strikes on the tankers Marivex, Settebello, and Jalveer between June 8 and June 11 after the vessels failed to comply with directions during a blockade of Iran-related shipping that began April 13. Three Indian sailors died aboard the Settebello; Oman rescued dozens of Indian seafarers from the affected ships. Indian officials called for the attacks to end while the blockade disabled nine vessels and redirected 135 others by June 11.
