Britain accused Russia of involvement in the seizure of the oil tanker Stena Impero.

The UK Government Communications Center (GCHQ) and the UK Foreign Affairs Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) accused Russia of involvement in the seizure of the British oil tanker Stena Impero.

As follows from the information provided by the "Mirror" edition, Russia is suspected of altering GPS coordinates, in connection with which the tanker violated the territorial waters of Iran, as well as the rules for passing the Strait of Hormuz.

“The hijacking of two tankers in Iranian waters could have been the result of Russian attempts to use secret technology. A British oil tanker was “guided” to Iranian waters at false GPS coordinates, replaced by secret Russian technology - this is now being verified. Security sources say GCHQ and MI6 are investigating whether Iranian intelligence has transmitted fake signals to the Stena Impero crew. "- informs edition.

Experts, in turn, note that the UK is looking for another reason for the scandal with Russia, however, in fact, the British media admit that the tanker violated the territorial waters of Iran, which means that the seizure of the sea vessel Stena Impero was legal.

Official comments from Moscow on this subject have not yet been reported.
