DUBAI, July 21 (Reuters) - Iran's top diplomat said on
Sunday that only "prudence and foresight" could alleviate
tensions between his country and Britain after Tehran's seizure
of a British-flagged oil tanker.
"Having failed to lure @realDonaldTrump into War of the
Century, and fearing collapse of his #B_Team,
@AmbJohnBolton is turning his venom against the UK in hopes of
dragging it into a quagmire," Mohammad Javad Zarif said on
Twitter.
"Only prudence and foresight can thwart such ploys."
Britain has called Iran's capture of the Stena Impero in the
Strait of Hormuz on Friday a "hostile act". Tehran for weeks has
vowed to retaliate for the seizure of its Grace 1 oil tanker by
British forces for violating European Union sanctions on Syria.
