A US Navy warship responded to a distress call and secured the seized ship, an official said.
London-based Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer's Zodiac Group.
Crew members of the Central Park tanker locked themselves in the ship's safe room for safety, the official told Griffin.
Zodiac Maritime has been targeted previously amid a wider yearslong shadow war between Iran and Israel.
Both the Symi and the Central Park had been behaving as if they faced a threat in recent days.
