Iran Seizes Iraqi Tanker

TEHRAN, April 5 (BBC via energy24.com) - Iranian authorities have seized a tanker in the Gulf they believe was smuggling Iraqi oil out of the country in defiance of United Nations sanctions.

The Iranian news agency says the Honduran-registered vessel Al-Masroo was carrying more than 2,000 tonnes of Iraqi oil when it was intercepted in Iranian waters in the southern Gulf last Saturday.

The agency said its nineteen crew members are under arrest. Correspondents say it's the first time Iran has reported such a seizure.

American and British patrols in the Gulf regularly arrest ships suspected of smuggling Iraqi oil but in the past have accused the Iranians of turning a blind eye to the traffic.
