War on Boats. This seems curious…

In late May, the tanker Prudent Warrior was traveling from Iraq to Texas, according to the officials, when Iran seized the tanker in international waters in the Persian Gulf and led it into Iranian territorial waters.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei confirmed the Iranian military seized two tankers, the Prudent Warrior and the Delta Poseidon, by launching Iranian military forces from helicopters in the Persian Gulf. He said Iran confiscated the tankers in retaliation for Greece helping the U.S. seize an Iranian-flagged tanker with crude oil in the Mediterranean Sea in April.

Greek authorities last month impounded the Iranian-flagged Pegas, with 19 Russian crew members on board, near the coast of the southern island of Evia due to European Union sanctions.

The Pegas was among five vessels designated by Washington on February 22 — two days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — for sanctions against Promsvyazbank, a bank viewed as critical to Russia’s defence sector.

The Prudent Warrior is operated by Greece-based shipping firm Polembros. Polembros told Reuters there had been “an incident” with one of its ships, without elaborating.

Prudent Warrior was carrying a cargo of Qatari and Iraqi oil, while the Delta Poseidon was loaded with Iraqi oil.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency later quoted an unnamed source as saying: “There are17 other Greek vesselsin the Gulf, which could be seized by the Revolutionary Guards if Greece continues its mischievousness.”
