The vessel sailed from Iran and into the international waters of the Gulf on Friday morning, according to local authorities. British Foreign Secretary Domini Raab said the tanker was “unlawfully seized by Iran” as part of its attempts to “disrupt freedom of navigation”. Since then, ships have been attacked, drones downed and oil tankers seized.
