US rejects India’s protest over missile attack on ship 

The US has rejected India's protest over the missile attack on the ship and has refused to apologise for the deaths of Indian crew members, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it clear to India that commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz should also follow the orders of US forces. 

Marco Rubio said violating the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and illegal shipments of Iranian oil will not be tolerated. 

The Indian Foreign Minister had contacted his US counterpart and protested the deaths of three Indian Navy personnel in the US attack.
