The detention of U.S. tankers violating the rules is carried out on the basis of court decisions, and documents related to the violations committed by those tankers are sent to the United States, Iranian Judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir said, APA’s Tehran bureau reports.

According to him, under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal states have the right to detain ships in waters under their jurisdiction, and in certain cases even on the high seas, if the vessels violate laws.

Asghar Jahangir noted that detention orders regarding these tankers are based on rulings issued by Iran’s competent courts and are implemented after legal procedures are completed.
