GIBRALTAR: Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said on Thursday he had a"constructive and positive" meeting with Iranian officials in London aimed at defusing tensions around an oil tanker carrying Iranian oil being held in the British territory's waters.
US officials believed the tanker was destined for Syria to deliver oil, in violation of separate sets of EU and US sanctions. An order by Gibraltar's supreme court authorising the detention of the Grace One tanker lapses after Friday, though it can be renewed for up to three months.
