US President Donald Trump says Iran tried to attack Indian ships using drones, following an incident in which three vessels with Indian crews are reported to have come under attack off the Omani coast this week. The remarks are made in the context of ongoing US assessments and regional security concerns in the Gulf area, where multiple countries operate shipping routes. Trump also criticizes what he describes as a “deal leak,” linking his comments to broader policy discussions involving the US and Iran. While Trump’s statements attribute the reported drone attacks to Iran, the reports referenced do not provide additional official detail on evidence or responsibility beyond the US president’s claim. The incident highlights the security risks faced by merchant shipping in the region and the role of diplomatic and intelligence cooperation in assessing threats. The reports also indicate that the affected vessels have Indian personnel onboard, raising the incident’s relevance for India’s maritime interests and prompting heightened attention to the safety of its commercial fleet.
