The commander of the Iranian naval forces, Hossein Khanzadi, said that his forces had done well to detain the British oil tanker, stressing that this step was not to reciprocate, but at the request of the Iranian Navigation Organization.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced on Friday the detention of a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, said it did not comply with the laws of navigation.
It was reported that the boats of the naval forces in the area and on orders from the port of Hormuzgan province has detained the carrier "Stina Imbro".
At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed concern about the confrontation between the United States and Iran, during an interview with American director Oliver Stone.
"We are very concerned about this. This could destabilize the situation around Iran and affect some of the countries that link us," Putin said, responding to a question on the relationship between the United States and Iran. Very close relations, could cause additional waves of refugees in large numbers, and could cause significant damage to the global economy and the global energy industry. "
In an interview on the program "Around the World", Iranian media spokesman Mohammad Gharawi said in his comment on the progress of the events regarding the Iranian-British tension against the backdrop of the Iranian navy holding a British oil tanker in response to Britain's detention of an Iranian oil tanker. "The American wants to drag all the countries that are still in Iran, The nuclear agreement with Iran, to be dragged behind the wrong American policies, he wants to implicate these countries to enter with him and to bias his policy is confused.
He points out that the British do not want to escalate as much as the US puts it in this crisis. Political and diplomatic solutions are the closest to reason and solution with the Iranians because anyone who tries to escalate with the Iranians, whether British or others, does not care about this escalation. , So the British did not imagine for a moment that Iran would respond at this level, but the British were surprised by the size of the Iranian response and entered into this dilemma will also bother before the election, which will take place several days, and this will negatively affect the British mood in this context. Therefore, the British to fix things and return to the first box, and released the Iranian tanker, to return water to the sewer, and graduated from the security context, which we saw last night and things return to normal.
