The United Kingdom has released Iranian oil tankers, but why does Iran not release British oil tankers?

This kind of thing is related to the national interests, so Iran will not release the British cruise ship in order to safeguard its own interests. In fact, the UK is cautious about releasing cruise ships, while Iran's release of cruise ships involves many interests, so it will not release British oil tankers. However, we still have a wait-and-see attitude on whether British oil tankers will be released in the future.

Since the United States tore up the Iran nuclear agreement in a rogue manner and gave up the hard-won achievements of major powers for many years, the conflict between the United States and Iran has escalated instantly. The United States has not only attacked Iran in the economic field , has also deployed troops and generals to the Middle East many times, and the number of US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other countries has increased. Under the continuous pressure from the double stick of the United States, Iran is becoming increasingly difficult, but Iran has not backed down or compromised at all. This is particularly admirable. Recently, the United Kingdom, as a loyal ally of the United States, has also joined the fight against Iran.

Half a month ago, the United Kingdom suddenly announced that it had seized an Iranian oil tanker passing by in the waters near its overseas territory of Gibraltar. This made Iran furious. In response, Iran also seized the oil tanker on the afternoon of July 19. A British cruise ship about to sail out of the Persian Gulf. It has to be said that if the United Kingdom had not intervened, it would not have resulted in such a result.

It must be said that the world situation is developing very fast, especially the situation in the Middle East is affected by many factors. Among them, the United States still has the dominant influence. On the one hand, the United States' purpose of controlling Iran also achieves the purpose of containing the United Kingdom. Whether it will be released in the future depends on how things develop.
