Germany and France on Saturday called on Iran to immediately release a British oil tanker it seized a day earlier in the Strait of Hormuz, in statements issued by their foreign ministries.

The capture of the Swedish-owned, British-flagged Stena Impero on Friday by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was a "dangerous further aggravation of an already tense situation," the German statement said.
