U.S. issues warrant to seize Iran oil tanker 'Grace 1' after Gibraltar judge orders i

Incorrect. The US is a sovereign nation and can act as a sovereign. If another sovereign does not like that they can use diplomacy or force. Good luck with that.

The US is not acting as a sovereign nation , it's acting as the President of the World .....it won't work.

The international order is made up of individual sovereign nations. There is no "president of the world." Where do you get your nutty ideas?

Probably the same place the Brits get theirs.

Too bad, so sad for Johnny and Donnie

A Gibraltar court rejected a U.S. attempt to seize an Iranian oil tanker on Sunday, clearing the way for the ship to resume its journey in the Mediterranean under the Iranian flag and with a new name.



The Grace 1 supertanker, renamed the Adrian Darya 1, has been anchored off Gibraltar since it was intercepted by the British navy July 4 on the grounds that it was carrying oil to Syria in violation of European Union sanctions. Authorities in Gibraltar lifted the detention order last week after Britain, which rules the territory, received assurances from Iran that the tanker would not take its cargo of 2.1 million barrels of oil to Syria.




But late Friday, the United States intervened, issuing a warrant for the seizure of the ship and its cargo, claiming it was violating not only U.S. sanctions against Syria but also those against Iran.


The Gibraltar court ruled that the American sanctions on Iran, which were imposed by President Trump after he walked away from the Iran nuclear deal last year, do not apply in the European Union.



The sanctions violations charged in the U.S. warrant “would not constitute offenses had they occurred in Gibraltar,” the government said in a statement.

“There are no equivalent sanctions against Iran in Gibraltar, the UK or the rest of the EU.”
