following the seizure of the british flag the oil tanker hasan rouhani described the military operation as powerful precise and professional same as robin has more from tehran. it was the 1st time that he seemed to link the seizure of a ship by iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps less than a week ago to the seizing injure brawl tour of the grace one in iranian oil tanker and president hassan rouhani said that he believes in international law he believes in dialogue as long as it's fair and it's legal and he said that european nations should do the same and if the u.k. was to stop its wrong actions in gibraltar it should expect a receiving a proportionate response from iran now does this perhaps suggest that releasing their vessel will prompt iran to release the british flag vessel well iran continues to say that its seizure of the vessel was illegal that it wandered into iran's territorial waters iran has always said that it is the sole protector or one of the main protectors i should say of the strait of hormuz and of vessels passing through it but during his cabinet meeting presi

the strait of hormuz and the vessels passing through it but during his cabinet meeting president hasan rouhani also mentioned a waterway in the southwest tip of the arabian peninsula. now this is a waterway between saudi arabia yemen and north africa and he said that iran is also involved in protecting the international waterways in and around its sphere of influence in this part of the world here's some of what he said during the meeting . the strait of hormuz is a very important location it's neither a place for joking nor a place for a country to violate maritime rules the responsibility of providing security for the gulf and the sea of amman is mostly on iran's shoulders and on neighboring countries it's not related to foreigners it's been the gulf throughout a long history and iranians have been it's protected so the revolutionary guards bravely seize this violating british tanka as they refused to take orders and fully regulations in my opinion an appropriate action was taken and the whole world should be thankful to the revolutionary. guards for the security of the strait of hormuz we r

has chosen to take now the president also has spoken to the french president on tuesday evening hasan rouhani said that the whole point of this nuclear deal was that so iran's economy would be opened up to the world and they would be open to dealing with the international community when it comes to their country's economy that is the exact opposite of what has taken place since the americans withdrew last year so there is a feeling here that the iranians will stay in this nuclear agreement but they will continue to reduce their commitments step by step as they announce along the way and also what are the concrete measures that iran needs that it's from the europeans and what will the next step be if the europeans don't do more. well the most important thing right now for the government is the sale of the sale of its oil that is something the united states of sanctions since the fall of last year so they are adamant that the united states cannot prevent the international community from purchasing iranian oil of course before the sanctions came into place iran was selling around $2800000.00 bar

this week's cabinet meeting since seizing the british flag oil tanker stand in peril last friday hasan rouhani is the 1st iranian official apparently suggesting in exchange for an iranian oil tanker the grace one was impounded by britain's royal marines 3 weeks ago if british government leaders were to undo what rouhani said were wrong actions in gibraltar they get a proportionate response from iran does this signal a way for both countries to get their ships back perhaps not iran maintains its seizure was internationally legal because the british vessel violated maritime regulations britain denies that. the strait of hormuz is a very important location neither a place for joking nor a place for a country to violate maritime rules so the g.c. bravely sees this violating a british tank of force as it refused to take orders and follow regulations we reiterate that we won't let anyone create disorder in this region what has been done so far has been proportionate and petition. and while the iran has long maintained its rightful role as protector and policeman of the strait of hormuz for the 1st t

let's get more now on the iranian tanker a near her from lawrence lee and london so lawrence i'm hasan rouhani still saying that they are going to address what it is that happened with their tanker what is the latest in this. back and forth between between u.k. and iran. well look i mean the the foreign office here in london is up to the nothing to say today further than what is said the last couple of days which which is to point to intelligence that the governments of gibraltar said it received an iranian tanker was carrying it was smuggling oil it thought destined for syria in breach of european sanctions and consequently it was seized and the governments of gibraltar is in now has conclusive proof that the oil had come from iran and the investigation's ongoing as to where it was supposed to go and that's that's where the position that that the thing that really strikes me is most significant really is about the timing because the seizing of the vessel came almost immediately after the american iran envoy came to london met the international maritime organization and then came back from tha

nuclear deal but having to implement a lot of the tenets of that deal on their own to present hasan rouhani said that while his kind through remains open to talking for open to dialogue to resolve any disagreements those have to be fair those have to be legal they have to be based on the principles of international law and he made a very interesting point he said that as long as i am in charge of the executive of the country as long as i am president that will remain the case perhaps a suggestion a reminder to world leaders that this is his last term he is a relative liberal in iranian politics and a lot of the damage he suffered politically with the falling apart the fraying of the 2050 nuclear deal has brought hardliners on to the forefront of iranian politics of the parliamentary elections coming up president hassan rouhani will not have a chance at another term so the hardliners are on the way perhaps a signal to the international community that if they want to talk now is the time all right thanks so much. now there is more fallout over a south korean war plane that fired hundreds of w
