Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Khamenei has warned that a recent seizure of an Iranian tanker by UK Marines will not go unanswered, APA reports referring to Sputnik.
The statement comes a week after Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker is tantamount to "piracy" and "sets a dangerous precedent."
He spoke after Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted last week that the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker is tantamount to "piracy" and "sets a dangerous precedent".
“Iran is neither a member of the EU nor subject to any European oil embargo. Last I checked, the EU was against extraterritoriality. UK's unlawful seizure of a tanker with Iranian oil on behalf of #B_Team is piracy, pure and simple, and must end now", Zarif emphasized.
