TL;DR Summary
US-Iran hostilities escalate with a US strike near Oman killing three Indian seafarers aboard MT Settebello, prompting India to demand an end to attacks. Iran vows retaliation and hints at closing the Strait of Hormuz, a claim disputed by the US, while the Persian Gulf Strait Authority signals closure. Diplomatic talks—including a Qatari delegation working with the US—continue as shipping through Hormuz remains volatile, threatening energy markets and regional security.
