Iran says it has warned US against seizing oil tanker

TEHRAN, Aug 19, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Tehran said on Monday that it has warned
Washington against making another attempt to seize an Iranian tanker that has
departed Gibraltar despite a US bid to have it detained.

“Iran has given necessary warnings to American officials through its
official channels… not to make such a mistake because it would have grave
consequences,” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told a news
conference.
