An Iranian ship held by Gibraltar since July on suspicion of transporting oil to Syria has left port.
Marine tracking shows the tanker moving east into the Mediterranean and lists Kalamata in Greece as the destination.
Gibraltar earlier rejected a request by the US to again seize the ship, which has changed its name from Grace 1 to Adrian Darya-1.
The US made the last-minute request on Friday, a day after Gibraltar lifted its detention order.
Gibraltar said it could not comply with Washington's request to issue a new detention order because US sanctions against Iran did not apply in the EU.

Why are you talking about Gibraltar as if it is a country? Isn't it the UK who made this decision?

It’s
An overseas territory.
Basically it has its own parliament and executive. However, certain powers are deferred to the UK parliament (defense and foreign policy probably).

Until the 31st of October they are both part of the EU and presumably follow its lead on the question of sanctions. I’m sure if it was up to Boris the tanker in question would still be anchored off the coast of Gibraltar.

@caissad4said Maybe Trump will ask to buy Gibralter .
If he buys Gibraltar he will make money!!!!! Many here would be quite opposed to someone making any more money than they need, I don't care WHO he is. How much money is enough, anyway?
