Nick spicer thanks for joining us iran is defying growing International Pressure to release a British Oil Tanker it detained in the strait of hormuz the vital waterway carrying a 3rd of the worlds seaborne oil supplies to iran says the vessel was seized the after it collided with a fishing boat the British Government has called it a dangerous move and germany says its an aggravation of an already tense situation irans revolutionary guard sport the pedo. Detained in the streets of poor me after and every day an oil tanker was held in. Britain say its a dangerous but london is determined not to let the tit for tat spiral out of control. Well the priority continues to be to find a way to deescalate the situation thats why i reached out to the Iranian Foreign minister thats why due process interpol continues we need to see the legal seizing of a british flag that so robust ship released and we continue to be very concerned the safety of well which 3 of. The u. K. s allies are also stepping up pressure on iran u. S. President donald trump wants to run to accept more concessions over its Nuclear Program and he says his strategy is working. Iran theyre showing their colors going to work out very nicely iran is in big trouble right now a lot of bad things happening to them and its very easy to straighten out or its very easy for us to make it a lot worse however trunks the mill your bluster isnt going to wail on the streets of tehran but. If i think trump star rakes in his comments at his own citizens the only reason for it is that his popularity has decreased and he wants to raise it with these comments that one thing i think our navys reaction was legal theres no problem with what they did and we support it on another that as a. Person has described the seizure as utterly unacceptable as diplomatic efforts continue in an effort to cool tensions. For more on this im joined. By a middle east analyst based in germany and those were pretty dramatic pictures we just saw of the raid on the british vessel is there a real danger that we could see a military escalation or even a war here. We have to be clear this is in fact already we are seeing the start of an escalation cycle with incidents like this and we have to to bear in mind or recall all the time that this is absolutely unnecessary there was a Nuclear Agreement that has been working and theyre your goal the United States decided to withdraw from the hook remained and since then we are seeing escalation and thats certainly worrisome. They were talking about the americans pulling out of the Nuclear Deal Tehran is asking european allies for health and dealing with washington but is europe life 1 going to help when iran has just seized a british tanker yeah obviously that that will not make life easier for the diplomats in europe to find the right approach you ron says it is responding to a iranian tanker being seized in gibraltar so again this is something that runs but like to separate from the discussion about the Nuclear Agreement or to separate from the Nuclear Agreement in the discussions about it but obviously thats not so easy for diplomats to do so i guess it will further complicate the whole situation yeah and back to washington the u. S. Has issued an alert for vessels navigating the strait of hormuz there around a 1000 going through a day could this conflict cause a spike in the price of oil and even hurt the Global Economy. It ultimately can of course i mean you in your report up to 2 hour conversation you were saying that one 3rd of the oil. Of the world is actually transplanting through this through this route so of course there is a danger that the Global Economy will suffer and that the situation and maybe even would go as far as the iranians are banking on that the iranians are banking on the threat it poses if the situation in the strait of hormuz in the in the waters of the persian gulf if the situation worse is and this is worsens and this is a nobodys interests ok im anti to buy thanks so much for that.
