‘Alter your course:’ Hear tense audio before Iran seized UK-flagged ship

An audio recording of British and Iranian naval authorities radioing instructions to a UK-flagged oil tanker just moments before it was seized in the Strait of Hormuz has surfaced.

In the radio exchange, what is believed to be an Iranian vessel can be heard telling a British Royal Navy frigate that it wants to inspect the Stena Impero for security reasons, and orders it to "alter its course."

The British side quickly reacted by warning that, under international law, the vessel's passage "must not be impaired."

The tanker captured by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is now at the center of a widening row between Iran and Britain.

  1. British Warship: Y u no stop?
    Iran: You have something of mine.
    Iran: Look at me! Look at me!
    ==> I’m the captain now.

    1. @FARSHAD he is Wright a hundred percent. Iran is not Afghanistan. They have been preparing for this for a long time. This is about oil. The American government is the real terrorist.

    2. @Mind Freshener no wounder you people lose wars no common sense. Lets see here what part do you not understand. We have spy satellites we see where all your military installations are.

    3. @john scimeca so many dum dums beleave they can beat the U.S.A THEY NEVER LEARN. LMFAO. Good luck to you we have a real president again maybe you heard of him President Donald J Trump.iran is a fly on the wall

    1. Turnible Spencer your facts are convoluted! 1-it was an EU sanctions against Seria. Iran is not part of the EU. 2- The sanctions call EU countries not SELL oil to Seria. There’s no proof Iran was Selling oil to Seria-maybe they were just giving it away. 3- the pirated Iranian vessel is not compatible with the Serian ports in question. 4- the Iranian ship was in international waters far from U.K. 5- UK is no longer part of EU and can not enforce EU regulations.
      On the other hand, the British tanker collided with an Iranian fishing boat and did not reply to the distress calls made by the injured boat (hit and run!)
      Iran had every right to take far greater actions!

    2. @Turnible Spencer Bass ackwards – Trump PULLED OUT of the agreement unilaterally and then expects Iran to abide by the rules of an agreement which the U.S. has abandoned. WTF kid of bullshit is THAT?

    3. @LeylanD They should have been ready to defend themselves. A helicopter doesn’t hover over a ship with shoulder-fired rocket launchers.

    1. Mind Freshener I can’t prove Seattle exists, but it does and someone else can. The UN investigated it, the syria people said it happened people are scarred from it. All the evidence you should need is there, but your cognitive dissonance and your stupors will continue to let you live in a world where it’s actually the west who’s evil and these tyrannical evil regimes that oppress and kill their own people are just innocent victims. You’re a moron and biased to hell

    2. farazpey everything you said demonstrates your lack of understanding. The UK is still in the EU, they haven’t had a deal to separate yet,
      The sanctions are UN not EU. People are mixing this up, the international community wasn’t unilateral on Venezuelan or Iranian sanctions. But it was on the war torn Syrian country where Assad gassed his own people. So these are UN international sanctions by law. Violate them and face UN elements cracking down on you. The UN sent peace keepers to Bosnia Somalia Rwanda etc. They can and have enforced things. Iran was selling to syria, the vessel confirmed that and the Iranians claimed they could do business with anyone. The Brits didn’t hit a fishing boat the Iranians literally gave the reason they boarded, for a ‘security inspection’ then they seized the ship in international waters.

      You are just trying to find any excuse to hate the west. If you live in the west duck you go to Iran and live in hell

    3. @Danijel Mornarić west is paradise and everyone has STD and all teenage girls are single mom what a paradise. Also Iran has ZERO homeless people, which country in the west has ZERO homeless?

    4. @Danijel Mornarić it was i.s.r.a.e.l that gassed syria because it says in their religion that it is OK to murder other people and steal from them and lie to them.

    1. *UPDATE: IRAN HAS TAKEN 17 IRANIANS THEY CLAIM ARE C.I.A AGENTS & HAVE SENTENCED THEM TO DEATH FOR BEING PART OF AN INTELLIGENCE RING!! COMIN’ SOON TO CNN ON YOUTUBE🆗✌😂😂😂*

    2. You are fucking moron….360 degree per azimuth doesn’t mean you take full circle,but for uneducated idiot….it may mean just that

  2. How many stagnated tankers does it take to crush the world economy under exhausting gas prices?

    1. @Timothy Parsons
      War is the inevitable logic of Trump’s and Israeli policies, and they will be solely responsible if another conflict breaks out in the Middle East.
      There is no doubt that Trump’s new policy towards Iran bears the hallmark of Netanyahu and his supporters in the White House who write Trump’s speeches for him.

    2. @Freedom Isn’tFree WOW….. I can find multiple videos on this site alone that shows me how to get free energy from the sun..Parabolic lenses, solar ovens, there are even vids showing how to make cheap AC..Point being.. your comment holds no water..The information is out there.. we just have to know how to access it

    1. @Darmok
      I know another game…when Britain went to bomb Syria on command «highly likely», what would hide the laboratory on the territory controlled by terrorists. On the British channels moving line of trade in human organs. And you don’t want to hear about it… fun games you guys have.

    1. @azgirl Strait of Hormuz belongs entirely to Iran and oman, so they can legally stop anyone passing through. That is international law too!

    1. @just saeed Sanctions were for any importing of oil for Syria. The Iranian tanker was breaking the sanction and was in EU water when seized. The UK ship was not breaking any documented sanctions and was in international waters when seized by Iran.

    2. @M first of all why there is any sanctions on syria? they are fighting with biggest terrorist group in the world , why they are under sanction? oh ISIS killing you? we are also going to stop anyone to give you oil for warming your homes and cook food, this is what human rights is? this is fighting with terrorists on European side or helping terrorists? can you explain who is supporting terrorists now? Europe helping ISIS take over the Syria with this sanctions

    3. omEon this is YouTube. People don’t care about Truth or Logic here. It’s Trump bad,, Socialism good, America bad, other countries good.

    4. @just saeed The sanctions are there even if you disagree with them, that is a fact. Why the sanctions, because the EU is checking oil flow into and out of Syria making sure it is for civilian use. They are allowing aid to the people as opposed to military. People scream they don’t want military actions taken to correct international issues then they say they don’t want economic ones as well. The fact is the sanctions are there. The fact is Iran was trying to bypass the sanctions. The fact is the Iranian ship was in EU waters when legally seized per international laws. If you disagree with how the sanctions are being applied you should address those issues. But that is a misdirect from the facts here that Iran was wrong.

    5. @kesofat Yes a country can seize a ship going to a country that it has sanctions if that ship is in its waters, not international waters. Spain has already announced that if they knew the Iranian ship was breaking EU sanctions they would have seized it when it was in their waters.

      If you are redirecting the issue to the specifics of the sanctions you can read up on EU sanctions which do allow oil for civil use if applied for and approved. But Iran did not notify and apply. The thing is your are questioning the seizure which was legal and correct, when it sounds like you have issue with the sanctions.

  3. So much happening in our world im raising an autistic twin survivor while,battling,tumors and spine issues,meanwhile Life around,us its scary

    1. @Dooey Tee it sucks in our,country health obstacles, mental and physical health and Wars problems finances Geeze

    2. @James Stuard they are human just like anyone else nobody can see into their future as to what may happen example myself disabled from an auto accident meanwhile you have some people No,disabilities not doing anything with their lives or,never tried I have college education worked many years but these days people only,see the negatives

  4. This was a direct response to the Iranian tanker being seized by british soldiers in gibraltar. How do you make a 9 minute video on the subject, without even mentioning that?!

    1. @Danijel Mornarić what International Law are you talking about you ignorant bastard…

    2. Sadaqat Ali it wasn’t in Iranian water, the Iranians didn’t even bother with that lie this time. It was in international water, listen to the audio the Iranians said they just wanted a ‘security inspection’ they didn’t bother lying saying it was in their waters. It wasn’t

    3. farazpey you just hate the west and are siding with an evil regime. Really honestly quite pathetic. You’d have sympathized with the Nazis before ww2

  5. Hybris thinking that UK could seize an Iranian tanker and Iran wouldn’t retaliate. (Which they clearly stated they would).
    Gibraltar is also at a very narrow straight.
    I have no love for the Iranian state but this did not come out of the blue.

  6. A classic tit for tat.What a double standard!! “Do to others as you want done to you”.This game is just beginning!!?
    The British government is wrongfully following the buffoon in chief.And that is a very dangerous path.
    The consequences of such acts are beyond comprehension.

    1. You’re stupid. If the British had been following Trump, they would not have taken the Iranian tanker.

    1. @DBZFan2 ignore these idiots. They’re probably kids on a computer or ignorants who don’t research a topic before commenting.

    2. @just truth america is the peace keeper of the world dumbass!!!! Iran constantly chants “Death to america” and firing ballistic missiles, do you see the difference or are you too stupid to see the difference?

  7. Britain seized Iranian tanker in Gibraltar, then it’s a retaliation by Iran. UK along with US are the initiators of this war like situation.

    1. British government has stated clearly over a week ago they can have their oil tanker back if they guarantee they wont be delivering oil to Syria. Quite clear.

    2. @Elfin4 So if your neighbor steals your car and say’s “I’ll give it back but if I give it back you have to agree to NOT sell apples from your tree to your other neighbor” you’re Ok with that?

    3. @k7gixxer1000 So do you want Syria to be supplied with oil so the Syrian dictator can continue to persecute the people. Sanctions were imposed on Syria because of the atrocities against their people. Would you prefer that no one helped the innocent people of Syria and just let the Assad regime continue to abuse and slaughter innocent people with chemical weapons. Britain acted for and on behalf of the UN to prevent oil being taken there, Iran knows fine well that there are sanctions against Syria its not a surprise. Dont be petty like a child, peoples lives are at risk here. If Iran continues down this path of aggression, it will receive measured action and responses and it wont just be the UK it will be France, and America and other civilised countries.

    4. @Elfin4 Assad was democratically elected by the majority of Syrian citizens. Claiming he’s a dictator shows how uninformed you are about the situation.
      Is Syria a Sovereign country? Then why would you advocate it’s invasion by Turkey, Israel, U.K, France, U.S.A, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and ISIS?
      Please show Proof Assad ever used Chemical Weapons. I’ll wait a thousand years for it because THERE IS NO PROOF!
      Why do you think “European Sanctions” apply to Iran when they’re not part of the EU?
      Iran is the aggressor? Who seized who’s ship first?
      Please think about where you get your information because you come across as willfully ignorant!

    5. @Elfin4 You’re an isis supporter aren’t you, I bet you would love for isis and the other moderate head choppers to topple Assad.
