until gibraltar announced last week it would release the iranian tanker gibraltar said it had been assuredthe tanker full of iranian oil would not go on to syria but that wasn't enough for washington the u.s. submitted its own request to seize the vessel over sanctions violations. gibraltar's government denied that petition on sunday writing the e.u. sanctions regime against iran which is a political in gibraltar is much now or were than that of clickable in the us. iran's vessel has announced its sale once more raising hopes of a deescalation in the dispute with tehran. and these 2 trees not trump one has just returned from iran and the strait of hormuz. the 1st of 4 do we do exactly where this iranian tanker is now heading full well that's the $1000000.00 question here because iran has so far not disclosed the final destination it wanted this ship to go to and. it has denied it was going to syria but that's all they said and now marine tracking apparently shows it is heading for greece and the final port could become a mantra but whether that's true remains to be seen and even if it is t

|j have awkward for britain in gibraltar?”rs calling it already, some newspapers calling it a climb—down for britain. but the authorities here, they say they decided to release the ship because they have received assurances from ron that the ship is not going to set sail to any country that is under eu sanctions. they have published some documents, including best, which is a letter from the iranian embassy in london to the authorities in gibraltar and in it it says, grace one supertanker was not destined to an eu sanctioned entity and that remains the case. they said the ship is not going to go anywhere near a country that is eu sanctions. so that is the explanation for the authorities to release the ship. thank you very much. looks a bit of a loss for the us. sort of possibly for the uk as well because they didn't want any more trouble getting this ship moved on, to get their own ship back. i just wonder whether there was as much communication between washington and london is well on whatever these other us reasons had to be.

of the gibraltar position and the e.u.'s position in that they had separate sanctions from the u.s. on iran and hey you're seeing the political dimension here the softer line taken by the e.u. the harder line taken by the united states was the was a much broader range of sanctions targeting the i r c g which is the islamic revolutionary guard corps who they say own the ship which is a terrorist organization whereas gibraltar insists that there is no category of terrorist organization put on the name of c.g. budget bolter the u.k. or indeed the entire you therefore they regard it as being compliant is there any realistic chance under this or least going to end up in syria. well there are a lot of cynical people around not just the united states who feel that whatever was written may not be really worth the paper the pen was put to there are a number of maritime experts who say that there could be a trans shipment from another port lebannon has been declared as a possibility it could be offshore it could it could lie offshore
