The seizure of a British tanker is inextricably linked to US pressure on Tehran. Negotiation, not sanctions, is the answer, writes @SanamVakilhttps://www.chathamhouse.org/expert/comment/iran-tanker-seizure-uk-must-not-take-bait …
'There is no doubt that the Friday seizure by Iranian Revolutionary Guards of a British-flagged tanker, the Stena Impero, was in part a piece of theatre intended to appease domestic clamour for Tehran to assert itself' writes @SanamVakil
'The tit-for-tat response should be evaluated as part of the Iranian attempt to push back against Donald Trump’s unilateral abandonment of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, and his reimposition of economic sanctions' writes @SanamVakil
'Talk of sanctions and asset freezes will only put the nuclear deal and European efforts at further risk. A direct UK-Iran bilateral negotiation on the tankers could provide both sides with a face-saving outcome' writes @SanamVakil
