US ‘piracy’ attempt failed, Iran says after court orders tanker release
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s foreign minister says a US attempt at “piracy” failed after a Gibraltar court ordered the release of a tanker carrying Iranian oil despite a US detention request.
“Having failed to accomplish its objectives through its #EconomicTerrorism — including depriving cancer patients of medicine — the US attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas,” Mohammad Javad Zarif tweets.
“This piracy attempt is indicative of Trump admin’s contempt for the law.”
