"The UK will adhere to the provisions of the FASA and calls on all its participants to abide by their obligations," the British Foreign Office said.

At the same time, the Foreign Ministry added that they are considering the possibility of introducing new unilateral sanctions against Iran in connection with the detention of the British tanker Stena Impero.

On July 19, Iran detained the Stena Impero tanker in the area of ​​the Strait of Hormuz under the British flag in connection with its violation of international shipping regulations.

Later, British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said that if the situation with the detention of Stena Impero is not resolved in the near future, Iran can expect serious consequences.
