Iranian supertanker with $130 million worth of light crude oil that the U.S. suspects is tied to a sanctioned organization has left Gibraltar and is heading east into the Mediterranean Sea.

An Iranian supertanker with $130 million worth of light crude oil that the U.S. suspects is tied to a sanctioned organization has left Gibraltar and is heading east into the Mediterranean Sea, with its next destination reported to be Greece.

Ship tracking service MarineTraffic said on Monday that the Iran-flagged Adrian Darya 1, previously named Grace 1, has set course for Kalamata, Greece, with an estimated arrival on Aug. 25. It wasn't immediately clear why the tanker would be heading there or whether the destination could change. The vessel left Gibraltar late on Sunday after having been detained for a month in the British overseas territory for allegedly attempting to breach European Union sanctions on Syria. Gibraltar authorities rejected attempts by the U.S. to seize the oil tanker.

There we go! Good job! losers Does anyone have an understanding of why this administration continues to escalate this issue?

Good It appears that very few are listening to the US these days. “In a statement, Gibraltar's government said the ship would be free to go as U.S. sanctions on Iran had no equivalent in the United Kingdom or the rest of the E.U.” If you were wondering about the status of US influence in the world under trump, hope this opens your eyes.
