India summoned a United States diplomat in New Delhi on June 13 for the second time this week to protest fatal attacks on commercial vessels off the coast of Oman. The incidents resulted in the deaths of at least three Indian seafarers in the Strait of Hormuz region. Tensions have escalated as the Indian government faces domestic pressure to condition its security cooperation on accountability for the killings, which occurred amid broader regional instability and ongoing naval blockades.
