Tensions have been running high between Iran and the Western powers after Gibraltar authorities, assisted by UK marines, arrested an Iranian tanker off the coast of Gibraltar on 4 July claiming that the vessel violated EU sanctions by allegedly transporting oil to Syria.
The Iranian Adrian Darya tanker set course for international waters following the termination of its detention, and is heading towards Greece, Reuters reported citing Refinitiv ship tracking data. According to the data, the vessel is sailing towards the city of Kalamata.
