If countries could evoke their domestic laws to seize iranian ships or shipments, iran could use International Law to seease wayward ships. After all, vessels could be seen violating International Regulations in the straight of hormos. This is look at how the british and other seazures of iranian oil in high seas has opened a new front in the western shadow war on iran and how iran has been fighting, all of that in a nutshell. In july 2019, britain deployed commandos to stop and detain a panama flag tanker that was carrying an iranian oil cargo, the grace one off of gibraltar. The uk government said it suspected the cargo was bound for a refinery in syria that was under European Union sanctions. Two weeks later, iran seized a british flag tanker, the stenna empero in the straight of hormoz. Iran said the ship had violated international maritime. Law, then a judge in gibraltar said there was no legal basis to keep holding the grace one, and he ordered it to be released. One day after the court order, the Us Justice Department rushed into the fray saying that it had issued a warrant to seize the grace one and its cargo. The vessel was nevertheless released, and then in september of 2019, iran allowed the stenna impero, the british flag ship to leave iranian. Territory. The us went to seize number of iranian ships or shipments afterwards, and iran continued to fight back. Us Court Documents recently released have shown that the u. S. Government has seized almost 1 Million Barrels of Iranian Crude Oil from the emptyz bajan tanker. That vessel was seized earlier this year. It was accused of Smuggling Oil to china after rajans seazure by the United States. Iran detained a Tanker Carrying Oil for the second largest United States energy company. That ship, advantage suite had been involved in a maritime accident with an iranian fishing craft. A number of crew members on that fishing vessel were injured or went missing, and an Iranian Court had issued a warrant to seize that ship over the incident, and in april of this year, iranian Navy Commandos repelled down a helicopter to seize advantage suite. In the gulf of oman. Before the recent us documents revealed the seagure of the iranian oil from rajan, the United States government had tried to sell the cargo, but commander of the Islamic Revolution guards court Navy Rear Admiral ali raza tangsiri warned in july that any oil company unloading the iranian oil sitting in rajan would be held accountable. All potential buyers thought twice before acting. No company stepped forward to purchase the iranian oil from the us government. And the vessel and its corgo remained off the texas coast for months. As the seazures of iranian shipments or vessels continue, the United States will only be opening itself to the possibility of taliation. Iran has much room to maneuver in its southern waters and if recent iranian behavior is an indication, the country is not being held back, but the Islamic Republic does not seek provocation if us seazures and the iran ones are likely to stop as well, and since the United States has opened that new frontline in its shadow war on iran, only the United States can close the curtains on it too.
