Iran on Friday summoned the envoy of Switzerland, which represents U.S. interests in Tehran, to protest the U.S. seizure of Iranian oil from a Russian-operated ship near Greece, the foreign ministry said in a statement quoted by Iranian media, APA reports citing ISNA.

"The Islamic republic expressed its deep concern over the U.S. government's continued violation of international laws and international maritime conventions," the semi-official ISNA news agency quoted the ministry as saying.

The ministry called for an immediate release of the ship and its cargo.
