Iran tanker likely to be allowed to leave after court decision: Report
Grace 1
The Iranian tanker Grace 1 will likely be allowed to leave Gibraltar following a court decision which is due on Thursday, news agency Reuters reported quoting a source.
A court in Gibraltar will on Thursday decide whether to extend the detention of the ship which was seized on June 4, the report added.
The Grace 1 supertanker, carrying 2.1 million barrels of Iranian oil, was seized on July 4 byGibraltarpolice and British special forces off the overseas British territory, provoking a diplomatic crisis between Tehran and London.
It was suspected of carrying oil to war-torn Syria in violation of EU sanctions.
Iran, which has described Britain's actions as "piracy", seized a British tanker, the Stena Impero, on July 19 in the strategic Strait of Hormuz for breaking "international maritime rules".
