Briefly about the tanker seizures: Two British tankers, the Stena Impero and the Mesdar were intercepted by Iranian forces in mid July. Only the Mesdar was permitted to continue its journey after a short while. The Stena Impero remains under Iranian control with reportedly 23 crew members on board.
These interceptions occurred following the seizure of a Liberian registered vessel on 4th July off of Gibraltar after it was alleged to be breaking EU Laws. The vessel was carrying a consignment of Iranian oil to Syria.
