US demands release of tankers and crew taken by Iran

The US condemned Iran's seizing of two Greek-flagged oil tankers in the Arabian Gulf and demanded their release.

State Department spokesman Ned Price called the move a “threat to maritime security”.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias agreed that “Iran must immediately release the seized vessels, their cargoes and their crews”, Mr Price said.

“Iran's continued harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights and freedoms are a threat to maritime security and the global economy,” he said.

“The United States stands with Greece, our key Nato ally and partner in the face of this unjustified seizure.”
