They're playing chess. This definitely is a game to bypass sanctions. Please watch the video, at 0:58 you can see a tent on the right side of the conning tower. At 1:02 you have a video captured from where the tent is. Did the cameraman land before the spec ops team to get a good video? I don't think so. They placed a tent there so the cameraman doesn't get sunburned and then put on a big act.

I'm disappointed with them, no effort at all.

Best way to resolve issue is via dialog without US involvement. The U.S literally just stole Iranian oil from their ship and Greek government went along with this U.S piracy...lol. Hopefully Greek government follows Gibraltars lead and just let the ship go. Not worth involving yourself in U.S struggle with Iran when you got more pressing domestic issues. They gain nothing from creating problems for themselves for sake of U.S.

Iran urges Greece to cooperate over seized ships without U.S. role​

(Reuters) - Iran urged Greece on Tuesday to cooperate to resolve a crisis over the seizure of ships without involving the United States, after Iranian forces seized two Greek tankers in the Gulf following the seizure of an Iranian vessel off Greece.

Tehran seized the Greek ships on Friday after Athens impounded the Iranian-flagged Pegas in April. The United States, which has imposed a tough sanctions regime on Iran, confiscated the Iranian oil cargo that was on the Pegas.

U.S. and Greek diplomats have called on Iran to immediately release the Greek tankers, their cargoes and their crews. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington backed its NATO ally Greece "in the face of this unjustified seizure".

"Mr Blinken has to realise that the era when the U.S. single handedly imposed its rules on the world has come to an end," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said, calling Washington "the biggest disrupter of free trade in the world".

"Unfortunately, the Greek government demonstrated that taking orders from a third party is more important to them ... But we believe relations between Iran and Greece should remain well-intentioned,” he told reporters in Tehran.

"I suggest the Greek government take the legal and judicial route in this respect without any fanfare," he said, adding that the crew members of the seized Greek ships were in good health and were in telephone contact with their families.

Unfortunately Greece is a puppet like many other countries and US pulls the strings. There's no way Greece will cooperate with Iran without US intervention. Blinken is a corrupted good for nothing messenger playing the role of a higher figure and the foreign ministry spokesman should learn that they can't steal ships in broad daylight and then talk about policing the world, that's a terrorist move and it strengthens US position as the world cop.

These disgusting self-elected low IQ killers are always on the brink of a world war. A war in which they do not fight.

Well it came true. Well done Greece courts for releasing the tanker, like Gibraltar courts did, and rejecting illegal acts of piracy at behest of U.S thu&¤#. Sad part is they can now expect to be put on FATF grey list by U.S like Gibraltar was for applying the rule of law when it came to Iran :confused:.
