1 month ago | By Business Insider
Iranian authorities say they seized a British-flagged tanker after it collided with an Iranian fishing boat and then failed to respond to attempts to contact it.
"The British vessel hit a fishing trawler, which needs to be investigated," Iranian news agency IRNA quoted Allahmorad Afifipour, the Director-General of the Ports and Maritime Department of Hormuzgan province, as saying.
The tanker was seized and escorted to port in the city of Bandar Abbas, IRNA said.
The UK has condemned the seizure, calling it "unacceptable."
