In Iran, the immediate consequences of the re-capture of the Grace 1 tanker were announced.
After the authorities of Gibraltar re-denied the US arrest of the Iranian oil tanker "Grace 1", information appeared about the impending operation to seize an Iranian sea vessel, against the background of which Iran announced serious and immediate consequences.
According to experts, if Washington really plans to seize the Iranian oil tanker by force, the United States will begin to have serious problems in the Persian Gulf, since Iran may well begin to attack American naval vessels, despite the protection of American warships.

“Iran is definitely losing the US in military power, but this does not mean at all that US actions will remain unanswered - Tehran has more than enough modern weapons for this”, - the analyst notes.
It should be clarified that the Gibraltar authorities did not explain their position regarding the detention of the Iranian oil tanker - it was initially assumed that the sea vessel could carry weapons, but it turned out that there was nothing other than oil on board the tanker.
