UPDATE 2-UK to facilitate release of Iranian tanker if it gets Syria guarantees-Hunt

British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt told his Iranian counterpart on Saturday that Britain would facilitate the release of the detained Grace 1 oil tanker if Tehran gave guarantees it would not go to Syria.

Iran on Saturday reiterated its call for the ship's release.
