Gibraltar to release Iranian oil tanker on Thursday: Sun newspaper

quote:

(Reuters) - The British territory of Gibraltar will on Thursday release an Iranian oil tanker seized by Royal Marines in the Mediterranean in July, the Sun newspaper reported, citing sources close to Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.

Picardo would not apply to renew an order to detain Grace 1, the report said, adding that he is now satisfied that the oil tanker is no longer heading to Syria.

Britain had said the vessel was violating European sanctions by taking oil to Syria, a charge Iran denies.

“There is no reason to keep Grace 1 in Gibraltar a moment longer if we no longer believe it is in breach of sanctions against the Syrian regime,” the newspaper quoted a source close to Picardo as saying.

Wonder if the UK and Iran have come to an agreement behind the scenes.

More likely Gibralter is flexing its muscle and testing the regional strength of its rivals on the way to superpower status.

reading that Reuter’s article. the separatists are demanding that the Saudis remove Islamists and Northerners from positions of power in the Hadi government. at that point you don’t have a coalition anymore. without northern collaborators and islamists the war is already over.

this war got started because the Houthis were disenfranchised and took the seat of power by force. now the separatists want even more groups to be disenfranchised - and if the Saudis want the problem to go away then they have to take back Aden.

legally speaking? absolutely not

realistically speaking? everyone knows the only reason the UK seized the tanker in the first place is because the US told them to

it gets better, though, because the headline is a whitewash. the US didn't ask the UK to cancel the release of the tanker. instead, the US asked the UK to hand the tanker over to the US. the release was put on hold while the request was being considered
