Chemical tanker HANKUK CHEMI, reportedly loaded with ethanol, on Jan 4 was seized by Iranian military in Strait of Hormuz, and taken to Bandar Abbas waters, Iran, under the pretext of "environment protection" violations. As it later transpired, there s an issue of billions of dollars of Iranian assets frozen in Seoul, to be negotiated between Iran and Korea in coming days, so tanker seizure is, in all probability, an attempt to gain more leverage in forthcoming talks.Posted On:5-Jan-2021
