India condemned attacks on vessels off Oman's coast that killed three Indian nationals and injured others amid rising Middle East tensions. The government urges dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace, following US strikes on ships including MT Setebello and MT Marivex, with all Indian crew rescued from the latter. 

The incidents highlight risks to over 18,000 Indian seafarers in the Gulf region, with several Indian-flagged vessels stranded near the Strait of Hormuz. India coordinates with authorities to ensure seafarers' safety and repatriation.
