American naval forces struck the tanker MT Jalveer in the Gulf of Oman on June 11, 2026, killing three Indian crew members after the ship reportedly refused orders to stop carrying Iranian oil. India summoned the US ambassador to protest the deaths, while oil prices surged past 107 dollars a barrel. The double strike, which also hit a second tanker near Oman's Shinas coast, marked a sharp escalation in the US naval blockade of Iran.
