Disabled oil tanker received dozens of warnings before US opened fire, AP source says

The U.S. military disabled the Palau-flagged oil tanker M/T Settebello after it ignored nearly 60 verbal warnings and eight shows of force, including aircraft flyovers and flares, while attempting to bypass a blockade in the Gulf of Oman. The incident killed three Indian sailors and prompted India to lodge a protest with the U.S., with the U.S. Central Command stating the ship was part of a shadow fleet involved in illegal Iranian oil transfers.
