Iran ‘threatening maritime security,’ Blinken says, after seizure of Greek tankers
Secretary speaks with Greek counterpart, calls for immediate release of vessels captured days after Athens said it would deliver to US Iranian oil it seized from Russian tanker
The United States joined Athens on Monday in strongly condemning Iran’s seizure of two Greek-flagged oil tankers in Gulf waters and demanding their immediate release, calling the abductions a “threat to maritime security.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias agreed in a call “that Iran must immediately release the seized vessels, their cargoes, and their crews,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
“Iran’s continued harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights and freedoms are a threat to maritime security and the global economy,” Price added.
