Iran said on Sunday that South Korea should avoid politicising the seizure of its vessel by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the Gulf, Iranian state media reported, while pressing Seoul to release $7 billion in funds frozen amid U.S. sanctions.

South Korea’s vice foreign minister, Choi Jong-kun, arrived in Tehran on Sunday to discuss the release of the South Korean-flagged MT Hankuk Chemi, which was seized by the Guards on Monday near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told South Korea’s Choi that Seoul “should refrain from politicising the issue and fruitless propaganda and allow the legal proceedings to proceed”, Iran’s state TV reported. However, the ship’s Busan-based operator, Taikun Shipping Co. Ltd., told Reuters there was nothing to indicate before the seizure of the vessel that Iranian authorities were probing possible violations of environmental rules.

it is hostage taking , guess they must be desperate to get to such lengths. But yeah, if you steal a country's money then don't risk sending in any form of business their way or else.

Biden will send Hunter to South Korea. Done

typical of bankrupt Iran They use hostage for extortion They are becoming pirate state

If Korea doesn't politicize Iran will do this again and again and again the only way to stop this kind of action is to stomp on their head.😡😡

This reminds me of the stance taken by the US congressional Republicans in the wake of recent events.
