గల్ఫ్ జలాల్లో ప్రయాణిస్తున్న బ్రిటిష్ చమురు ఓడకు ఇరాన్ ఓడలు ఆటంకం తలపెట్టాయని బ్రిటన్ ప్రభుత్వం ఆరోపించింది. అంతర్జాతీయ చట్టానికి విరుద్ధంగా మూడు ఇరానియన్ ఓడలు బ్రిటిష్ హెరిటేజ్ వాణిజ్య నౌకను అడ్డుకున్నాయని తెలిపింది. హొర్ముజ్ జలసంధి వద్ద బుధవారం ఘటన జరిగిందని ఓ ప్రకటనలో తెలిపింది.

యుద్ధ నౌక జోక్యం చేసుకుని ఇరాన్ ఓడలు అడ్డుతప్పుకోవాలని హెచ్చిరించాక అవి వెనుదిరిగాయని పేర్కొంది. ఈ ప్రాంతంలో ఇలాంటి ఉద్రిక్త పరిస్థితులు తలెత్తకుండా చర్యలు తీసుకోవాలని ఇరాన్ ప్రభుత్వానికి సూచించినట్లు బ్రిటన్ తెలిపింది.

హొర్ముజ్ జలసంధి వద్ద చమురు నౌకలపై గతంలో దాడులు జరిగాయి. దాడి చేసింది ఇరాన్ దేశమే అని అమెరికా అధ్యక్షుడు డొనాల్డ్ ట్రంప్ ఆరోపించగా.. ఇరాన్ ఖండించింది.

STORYLINE:
A search and rescue operation was underway in northern Greece for a fisherman missing after a powerful storm left six people dead, including two children, and injured more than 100.
Wednesday night's storm in the northern Halkidiki peninsula ripped up trees and power pylons, tossed vehicles and left swathes of debris across the coast.
Two of those who died were killed when high winds overturned their recreational vehicle, while an eight-year-old boy and his mother were killed when an outdoor restaurant's lean-to roof collapsed.
Another two people were killed by falling trees.
Two of those killed were Russian, two were Romanian and another two were from the Czech Republic, according to officials.
Police said around 140 people were injured, most of them slightly, in Wednesday's storm in the northern Halkidiki peninsula.
Paramedics treated 65 of the injured.
A government spokesman said 23 people remained hospitalised Thursday, including one woman in critical condition in intensive care.
A state of emergency has been declared in the region, a peninsula near the northern city of Thessaloniki, popular with tourists.
