Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seized two Greek oil tankers in the Gulf on Friday, the IRGC announced in a statement carried by state media, in an apparent retaliation for the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker in Greek waters.
The two Greek oil tankers were seized for committing “violations” in Gulf waters, the semi-official Tasnim news agency cited the IRGC statement as saying.
The two seized oil tankers are named Prudent Warrior and Delta Poseidon, the semi-official Fars news agency said.
In a statement, the Greek foreign ministry condemned the seizure of the two ships and called for their immediate release. It said the seizure of the two ships was “equivalent to acts of piracy.”
