UAE wary of “looking too close to West-Israel”, limits US attacks | Iran threatened to seize ships

President Raisi’s legal advisor, responding to a statement from the US Justice Department, warned that Iran would retaliate if Iranian ships were seized. Recently, the Justice Department issued a statement announcing the seizure of more than 500,000 barrels of Iranian fuel. The move is aimed at cracking down on “the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ financing network,” the DoJ said. Legal adviser Mohammad Dehghan said, “If any Iranian ship is seized, we will respond and the legal avenues in this regard will not be closed.”
