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

The U.S. military disabled a Palau-flagged oil tanker, M/T Settebello, after it ignored nearly 60 verbal warnings and eight shows of force, resulting in the deaths of three Indian sailors. The ship was described as part of a 'shadow fleet' involved in illegal Iranian oil transfers, and India has protested the incident. U.S. forces gave the crew 15 minutes to vacate the engine room before firing.
