The Stena Impero tanker was seized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on Friday in a key shipping route, raising international tensions.
The Polish foreign ministry said in a statement on its website: “In the aftermath of the recent incidents with harassment and interception of tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, Poland calls on Iran to respect international norms of freedom of navigation and to release the British ship without any delay.”
The ministry added: “We are deeply concerned that tensions in the Persian Gulf pose [a] direct threat to the security and safety of maritime and air traffic, global energy supply, as well as to the broader security and stability in the Middle East.”
