Iran's Rouhani hints at possible swap for seized tankers

President Hassan Rouhani has apparently suggested that if the United Kingdom releases its tanker seized off the coast of Gibraltar earlier this month, then his country will return a British-flagged vessel it apprehended last week.
Rouhani made the purported offer during a weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday assuring "appropriate response from Iran" if the UK stepped away from the "wrong actions in Gibraltar".
