a major oil terminal off the coast of Iran, in the "not too distant future". Earlier, three Indian sailors were killed in a US strike on a ship, the Settebello, near Oman on Wednesday, while the Marivex was hit on Monday. The US also confirmed it carried out a strike on a third ship, the Guinea-Bissau-flagged vessel Jalveer,  as it "violated the blockade" by attempting to transport Iranian oil through the Gulf of Oman. In recent days the US hit military, surveillance and radar sites in southern Iran. Tehran has responded with strikes on US military sites in the region overnight. (BBC)
