They can consider themselves whatever they want, it has no legal basis and we will take care of our sovereignty.
Sure. Violating sovereignty would be the right phrase to use. Iranians have every right to defend it. But how is seizing US oil tanker a violation of Iranian sovereignty? Is US oil tanker an Iranian territory? If not, isn't this a violation of US sovereignty by Iran?
it seems you have misunderstood what has happened here
Maybe the OP is misleading already. The title says "Iran seized US oil tanker". How am I supposed to understand? Check this:
in this incident there were to tanker , one Iranian that were doing its business when the terrorist Centcom navy tried to in an act of daylight piracy intercept the ship and transfer its cargo to a second ship that previously in an act of treason handed our oil to American ,according to some news Iranian ship were rescued and the second ship is being confiscated
They violated our sovereignty and stole Iranian oil, we took back what was ours from the one who didn't wanted to return it. The one who starts the war is guilty not the one who responds.
I see. I think both sides are right. Iran was smuggling oil to US, which violates US law, so US navy took action. Iran of course doesn't recognize US law so they fought back. Best luck for both of you.
I fully agree with you...but before we discuss this further in any serious way, ask Turkey to exit NATO first. Until that happens, keep hibernatin' please.

Our ship wasn't bound for US, but US acts based on its unilateral sanctions so we are right and they are the pirates.I see. I think both sides are right. Iran was smuggling oil to US, which violates US law, so US navy took action. Iran of course doesn't recognize US law so they fought back. Best luck for both of you.
A lot of confusing material. In the quoted Reuter news piece in the OP, there is also these statements:
UK litterary invented slavery and for US it is idiotizm even to respond...you may consider your self to be Batman,no one gives a shit..we have UN chapter,international laws and conventions..and even some difference on interpretation exist,still there are widely accepted interpretations that makes things very clear. No one on this world want even try to paint western fake humanitarian interventions as in line with international law,and that include their policing...it is joke of the century,they used it as weapons in time of power vacum,but that time ended long time ago...I mean,claiming that UK and US fought against slavery in time when their whole economy was based on slavery is new level of crembilism....For thos who question what crembilism is..well Crembil is hybrid born from mother moron ,father imbecill and rised close to BBC TV
Does that US government link explicitly says "... seeking to forfeit all petroleum-product cargo aboard four foreign-flagged oil tankers ..."? Really? Well not a surprise, that's what Pompeo has told us about US glory, he just forgot to add "robbing in broad daylight" to the list.How do the Americans get away with this sort of day time robbery?
Largest U.S. Seizure of Iranian Fuel from Four Tankers
The Justice Department today announced the successful disruption of a multimillion dollar fuel shipment by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated foreign terrorist organization that was bound for Venezuela. These actions represent the government’s largest-ever seizure of fuel...www.justice.gov
I already put the video link which exposes US lies.
