India's government notes the lack of verifiable evidence from Tehran to support its claims, as reported in the article.

« Iranian state media provided no immediate evidence supporting their attribution of the attack to American forces. »

India frames the targeting of oil tankers as financing for the IRGC, rather than simply viewing them as civilian cargo, affecting the Indian economy.
