The US military has attacked three commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman over three days, killing three Indian sailors. US Central Command, or Centcom, said the ships were hit for violating its blockade of Iranian ports and not following directions. India has strongly protested the strikes, with 24 crew rescued from one ship that sank on Monday.
