Iran Seizes Greek Oil Tankers After Greece Confiscates Iranian Oil
------------------------------------------------------------------

Iran's military has seized a pair of Greek oil tankers in the Persian
Gulf. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says it took the action after
Greece recently impounded an Iranian tanker and confiscated its oil,
reportedly at the request of the United States, citing European Union
sanctions. This comes as talks between the Biden administration and Iran
aimed at restoring the 2015 Iran nuclear deal have stalled.
