TEHERAN/GIBRALTAR • Iranian officials yesterday denied that any assurances were given to Gibraltar to release an Iranian tanker, calling it a"victory" for Teheran as the semi-autonomous territory lifted its detention order on Thursday.
Gibraltar's Supreme Court had ordered the tanker released after the British overseas territory said it had received written assurances from Iran that the Grace 1 would not head to any country subject to European Union sanctions. "Iran has given no assurances over the Grace 1 not going to Syria to secure its release," the state broadcaster's youth website quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi as saying yesterday.Iran has given no assurances over the Grace 1 not going to Syria to secure its release. The tanker's destination was not Syria... and even if it was, it did not concern anyone else.
The Grace 1 will be renamed and switch to the Iranian flag for its onward journey into the Mediterranean, senior Iranian shipping official Jalil Eslami said.
