Soon after Iranian tanker Grace1 was seized by British marines in Gibraltar waters on July 2, Iranian Supreme Leader stated Iran would respond at the right time. On July 19 it did which turned out to be GREAT WORK!IRGC releases a video of the moment that their forces seized #British #tanker #StenaImpero in #StraitOfHormuz. #Iran #IRGC #UnitedKingdom pic.twitter.com/29Q11mgzFP— Press TV (@PressTV) July 20, 2019
The official report released from Iran was transparent and to the point. The seizure was the response to Britain's needless aggression, impounding Grace1 at the behest of Trump and Bolton. The mother of all jokes propped up when Jeremy Hunt (UK Sec. of State Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs) shamelessly exposed his country's double standards saying "This is unacceptable, freedom of navigation must be maintained." He never had the face to mention why his government never respected the "freedom of navigation" of Grace1 less than three weeks ago.
The best video footage of this story was released by IRGC on twitter via PressTV posted above, showing how IRGC accurately spotted the right location to descend on the tanker from their helicopter. Youtube videos released by Guardian and Independent only show Stena Impero travelling at a slow speed. They were embarrassed to film the daring work of IRGC.
A wrap up to refresh memories:
On July 2, 2019 the Iranian tanker was carrying oil to war-torn Syria where civilians are experiencing acute power shortages. Oil is a dire necessity for Syrians like never before, yet the tanker was intercepted and impounded by Brit marines. The act was completely ILLEGAL as EU sanctions apply only to the 28 EU member states and Iran is NOT a member of the EU. The 'Royal' British marines carried out an act of blatant piracy. As soon as Grace1 is released, Stena Impero will be released too. Iran retaliated after a court in Gibraltar ruled to detain Grace1 for at least one month longer without citing any reasons.
