Iran-backed forces seize tanker, maritime sources say; Iran denies it By Lisa Barrington and Jonathan Saul Reuters DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) -Iranian-backed forces are believed to have seized an oil tanker in the Gulf off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, three maritime security sources said, after Britain s maritime trade agency reported a potential hijack in the area on Tuesday. Abolfazl Shekarchi, Iran s senior armed forces spokesman, denounced reports of maritime incidents and hijacking in the Gulf area as a kind of psychological warfare and setting the stage for new bouts of adventurism, the Fars News Agency said. Two of the maritime sources identified the seized vessel as the Panama-flagged asphalt/bitumen tanker Asphalt Princess in an area in the Arabian Sea leading to the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for about a fifth of the world s seaborne oil exports.
