The Iranian military has intercepted two Greece-flag suezmaxes that were underway off Iran on Friday, sparking severe diplomatic protests by the government in Athens.

Shipping sources told TradeWinds that one of the vessels in question is Delta Tankers' 157,400-dwt Delta Poseidon (built 2011).

The second vessel is Polembros's 150,000-dwt Prudent Warrior (built 2017).
