DUBAI: Iran has asked Indonesia to provide details about the seizure of an Iranian-flagged vessel, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday, a day after Jakarta said it had seized Iran and Panama-flagged tankers in its waters.
"We have asked for more details as there are various reports about this seizure," Khatibzadeh told a news conference, broadcast live on state TV.
