Iranian state media: Speaker Says Tanker Seizure Tit-for-Tat

“The British committed piracy and we responded to it,” Larijani said in Sunday’s open session of the Parliament, making a one-sentence remark in reference to the Friday’s seizure of a British oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz.

The remark came as Member of Parliament Hosseinali Hajideligani criticized the Parliament for not issuing a statement in support of the IRGC’s measure. “We expected that the Parliament would talk about the honorable measure of IRGC and Navy in seizing the English oil tanker.” Source Fras News
