According to analysis from ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta, the US conducted strikes on three separate vessels in the Gulf of Oman over three consecutive days, resulting in the deaths of three Indian crew members. The source characterizes the incident as raising questions about flag-of-convenience shipping practices, which the analysis argues allow vessel ownership and management to be obscured across multiple jurisdictions, complicating accountability and oversight in maritime operations.
