Tharoor slams US as 'friend' after Indian sailors killed in Oman strike
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticised the United States for a condolence-free statement after the Oman Gulf strike killed three Indian mariners, questioning why non-lethal methods couldn’t stop the vessel and highlighting safety concerns for Indian seafarers; External Affairs Minister Jaishankar later pressed Washington in a call with US Secretary of State Rubio.
