VIDEO: Moments when IRGC Seized Two Greek Tankers in the Persian Gulf

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (#IRGC) has released a video of its seizure of two Greek oil tankers in the Persian Gulf waters in a tit-for-tat move for the unlawful detention of an Iranian oil tanker by Greece and handing it over to the US.

The video shows IRGC’s heliborne Special Forces boarding the Greek ships ahead of their seizure over violations in the waters of the Persian Gulf.

Greek-flagged Prudent Warrior was one of two Greek vessels that was seized by Iran on Friday.

On Friday, the IRGC announced it had seized the two Greek oil tankers, days after an Iranian oil tanker was captured by Greece in its territorial waters and its oil cargo was transferred to the US.

The Greek Foreign Ministry said later that Iranian navy helicopters had landed gunmen on the two tankers earlier in the day.

The Iranian media said that the two Greek-flagged #DeltaPoseidon and #PrudentWarrior were seized by a force of the IRGC that conducted a Heliborne drop on the oil tankers and were escorted to the Iranian coast.

Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) announced in a statement on Saturday that the crew members of the two Greek oil tankers seized by the IRGC in the Persian Gulf have not been detained and are in full health

It gave the assurance that the required judicial measures will be taken following the completion of the investigations and collection of the needed evidence.

According to the statement, all crew members onboard the ships are being protected in accordance with international law.
