Why are we indirectly justifying the US action by referring to OFAC and using terms like non- compliance?
These are illegal actions even if the ships are not Indian- flagged.
Our concern is that Indian seamen have been killed and no regret has been expressed by CENTCOM.
If India and the US cooperate on maritime security in the Indian Ocean, hold elaborate naval exercises, subscribe to the concept of the Indo- Pacific, the US can’t be indifferent to killing Indian seamen in the Indian Ocean whatever the circumstances.
MEA Spox Randhir Jaiswal says "attacks are coming from US side"; Points, "2 of the vessels are sanctioned ship, one of them non compliant ships"
