DUBAI: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intercepted a Togolese-flagged, UAE-operated product tanker carrying 1,500 tonnes of marine gas oil, British security firm Ambrey said on Monday. The vessel was loading marine gas off the coast of Iraq and was bound for Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates when it was intercepted on Sunday 61 nautical miles southwest of the Iranian port of Bushehr, Ambri said. Ambry added that the incident is unlikely to have a political motive and is not considered an event of “war”.
