Iran said Saturday the United Kingdom should be “scared” of possible retaliation after the Royal Marines captured an Iranian supertanker in Gibraltar. “I am openly saying that Britain should be scared of Iran’s retaliatory measures over the illegal seizure of the Iranian oil tanker,” Mohammad Ali Mousavi Jazayeri, a member of a powerful group of clerics, was quoted as saying in Fars, Iran’s semi-official news agency. “We have shown that we will never remain silent against bullying … As we gave a staunch response to the American drone, the appropriate response to this illegal capture (of the tanker) will be given by Iran as well,” Reuters reported. The tanker was seized on Thursday for trying to take oil to Syria in violation of EU sanctions. Iran also repeated threats to increase its level of enriched uranium beyond limits stipulated in the 2015 nuclear deal, which the US exited. “Americans directly and Europeans indirectly violated the deal,” a top aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a video posted Saturday on an Iranian website. Ali Akbar Velayati, Khamenei’s adviser on international affairs, said in the video that increasing enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels was “unanimously agreed upon by every component of the establishment,” the Associated Press reported. “We will show reaction exponentially as much as they violate it. We reduce our commitments as much as they reduce it,” said Velayati, Khamenei’s adviser on international affairs. “If they go back to fulfilling their commitments, we will do so as well.”

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a threat of retaliation against the United Kingdom’s move to seize an Iranian tanker. He said that the Islamic Republic (of Iran) and its ‘committed forces’ won’t leave the ‘evil without a response’. The UK had seized a ship off the coast of Gibraltar over suspicion that it was violating sanctions on Syria. According to reports, UK’s foreign secretary had said that the Iranian vessel would be released if Tehran guarantees that EU sanctions on Syria aren’t breached.
Days after the UK – at US request – seized a tanker filled with Iranian oil near Gibraltar, a UK tanker in the Persian Gulf has made an abrupt u-turn and abandoned its mission to transport Iraqi oil to Europe. Now sheltering in Saudi waters, the tanker fears a tit-for-tat Iranian retaliation. Is this a case of “unintended consequences” for the US-engineered July 4th Iran tanker seizure? How far will this escalate? More on Iran at RPI’s August conference! Info and tickets: RonPaulInstitute.org/conference

British super tanker Pacific Voyager drifted in the Persian Gulf for six hours today prompting Iranian officials to announce that they had not boarded the 1,000ft vessel which was just outside its waters. The tanker was en-route between Singapore and Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia when it slowed to a halt this morning. UK officials said it had slowed to adjust its time of arrival in port.

A top Iranian official said that Tehran should seize a British oil vessel, if London refuses to release an Iranian oil tanker detained in Gibraltar. The ship was intercepted Thursday on the suspicion of carrying Iranian crude oil to Syria, which would be a violation of European Union sanctions.
