Greek court overturns ruling on US seizure of Iranian oil cargo, reports say


  • English
  • Arabic

A Greek court has overturned a court ruling allowing the US to confiscate part of a cargo of Iranian oil on an Iranian-flagged tanker off the Greek coast, reports say.

In response, Iranian forces seized two Greek tankers in the Arabian Gulf last month after Iran said it would take "punitive action" against Greece.

Iran also appealed against the original court decision, a legal source told Reuters. The result of the appeal has not yet been officially revealed.

"The action for the reversal of the ruling was accepted by the court," the source said. "It will be hard to overrule that [the appeal court's ruling]."

It is not known whether the US or Greek governments will challenge the ruling, which was made in the appeals court of the region of Chalkis.

Greece had called Iran's seizure of the two Greek tankers in the Gulf "piracy".

Russian crew on board impounded vessel

The case arose when Greek authorities in April impounded the Iranian-flagged Lana, formerly the Pegas, with 19 Russian crew members on board, near the coast of the southern island of Evia because of EU sanctions.

The ship was soon released because of complications regarding its ownership. The US in May confiscated part of the Iranian oil cargo and transferred it to another ship, following the initial Greek court ruling.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation

- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut

- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.

- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.

- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
