"The Captain and senior Officers of the Tanker seized by the UK were given a Court appearance and bonded....and released."
Nothing to stop the Iranians from doing the same - bu the crew may want to stay on the vessel under "house arrest"
I'm interested in what the Iranians say - about where the tanker was - but right now it does look like tit-for-tat. Which is clearly illegal under international law.............. but I suspect they feel International Law hasn't done much for Iran over the years.
