Greece protested the Iranian ambassador to Athens after the Iranian military detained two oil tankers with the Greek flag in the Persian Gulf.

The Greek Foreign Ministry has officially confirmed Iran’s military detention of two tankers under the Greek flag in the Persian Gulf. On Friday, May 27, writes the AP.

“The Foreign Ministry has expressed its strong condemnation of the hijacking of ships flying the Greek flag by Iran’s armed forces,” the Greek Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

It is known that the Iranian ambassador in Athens has already filed a protest over this incident.

Athens considers the detention of ships as an act of piracy and demands their immediate release.

For its part, the IRNA agency confirmed that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards detained the Greek tankers.

“The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy today detained two Greek tankers for violations in Persian Gulf waters,” the statement said.

For what violations the ships were detained is not indicated.

The command of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet based in the Middle East is aware of the incident and is monitoring the situation, but has not yet commented.

It will be recalled that the United States confiscated Iranian oil stored on a Russian ship near the Greek island of Evvia in the Aegean Sea.
