First of all, they are two different cases.
In the case of the Russian ship, we had the application of EU decisions, the ban on sailing, the temporary seizure of the ship and the Iranian oil until it was finalized in the Greek courts.
In fact, two months ago, we had the same case, on another Russian ship, where the Greek courts ordered his release.
Οn the other hand, the Iran, in a military operation seized two Greek ships, which also had Iranian oil, as a response to the Russian ship.
What has Iran achieved with this action?
To prove that it is an authoritarian state, does not respect the international laws of sea, with armed and pirate tactics seized two ships, allegedly tried to blackmail Greece, while it could wait for court decisions.
Of course in Iran, there is no State of Justice, that is has as result, they do not know that the Judiciary is independent of the Executive and the Legislature Power.
Being the instigator of the whole saga, how about you wait for the Iranian courts to decide whether to release your ships or not? or you do not respect other countries' laws all the while you demand the other country (whose ship you kidnapped first) to respect yours? what kind of logic is this?
