the ship is likely to remain impounded for several weeks now in retaliation teheran demands an immediate release of the vessel and condemns what it sees as an illegal detention tantamount to maritime piracy iranian foreign ministry official described the u.k. moves on acceptable and called for the immediate release of the oil tanker given that has been seized at the request of the u.s. the u.k. navy's measure is tantamount to maritime piracy britain has no right to impose its own unilateral sanctions all those of the european union in an extra territorial manner against the other countries this is the very bullying policy of the us britain's foreign office said it would not respond to every single comment about the incident that emerged from iran but it reiterated its position that the action came at the request of gibraltar to halt a vessel believed to be bound for syria which indeed violates sanctions this actually rose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to believe that the vessel the grace one was acting in breach of european union
8:07 pm
sanctions against syria now the e.u. sanctions in place prevent syrian regime from importing oil and gibraltar said it believed that grace one and it's barrels of rain in oil were bound for syria however it's understood that iran has provided these documents to the u.k. proving that the vessel was transiting to a primitive destination although it didn't exactly specify where since then. and spain have become embroiled in a row about the seizure with madrid saying that grace one was intercepted because of a request from the u.s. to the u.k. . we have been aware of the operation civil guard. had been watching the area which were investigating the circumstances under which the u.s. had its petition to the u.k. well as well as spain a senior iranian foreign ministry official said that the united states had asked the u.k. to intercept the ship however just bolters government said in a statement that they acted independently on their own accord the decisions of her

8:09 pm
that treats including france and germany and even the u.k. haven't done enough to keep the deal alive meanwhile other countries including russia have weighed in on the diplomatic row with russia's foreign ministry saying that the seizure is an attempt to aggravate the situation around iran and syria and that the reaction from london and washington shows that the incident had been planned in advance. environmental activist groups a phone book who shot to fame by leading a wave of protests appears to be drawing the ire of motorists germany vehicles across the country have been sporting offensive bumper stickers ridiculing her campaigning it's unlikely to put the 16 year old off though grosser already has a nobel peace prize for the nation and she's made it to the cover of time magazine as well.
