BRITAIN should be “scared” about Tehran’s retaliation over the dramatic seizure of an Iranian supertanker by Royal Marines, a firebrand cleric warned today. Mohammad Ali Mousavi Jazayeri hinted the Islamic Republic may strike back over the capture of the giant vessel, impounded over fears it was illegally shipping oil to Syria. “I am openly saying that Britain should be scared of Iran’s retaliatory measures over the illegal seizure of the Iranian oil tanker,” said the cleric, a member of the powerful clerical body the Assembly of Experts.

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.

What does this mean for Iran’s uranium enrichment progress? INSS’ Emily Landau and our Daniel Tsemach analyze. Story: Senior Iranian officials threatened Friday morning to seize a UK ship as a form of retaliation if it does not release the Iranian oil supertanker seized in the Gulf of Gibraltar that was en route to Syria. Ignoring the Iranian vows of retaliation, a Gibraltar court on Friday evening extended the tanker’s detention for fourteen days. “If Britain does not release the Iranian oil tanker, it will be the duty of the authorities to take over a British oil tanker,” Mushayn Rezai said on Twitter. A senior Iranian foreign ministry official “called for the immediate release of the oil tanker, given that it has been seized at the request of the US, based on the information currently available”, a statement released by the foreign ministry said. The Iranian oil supertanker headed for Syria in violation of EU sanctions was detained in Gibraltar on Thursday, in a move that Iran condemned as an “illegal interception.” This comes amid deteriorating relations between Europe and Iran, as Western capitals slowly fall in line with US policy over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday it would step up uranium enrichment on July 7. [More]
