| 2019-08-22 |
| [AAWSAT] The United States will take every action it can to prevent an Iranian tanker sailing in the Mediterranean from delivering oil to Syria in contravention of US sanctions, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned on Tuesday. Greece said earlier in the day that it had not had a request from the Adrian Darya 1, the vessel at the centre of a dispute between Tehran and the Washington, to dock at one of its ports, as US warned Greece against helping the vessel. The tanker, formerly called Grace 1, left Gibraltar on Sunday, Rooters reported. Changed its name and gender Ship-tracking data on Tuesday showed the vessel was heading toward the Greek port of Kalamata on the southern coast of the Peloponnese and was scheduled to arrive next Monday. "We have made clear that anyone who touches it, anyone who supports it, anyone who allows a ship to dock is at risk of receiving sanctions from the United States," Pompeo told news hounds at the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... "If that ship again heads to Syria, we will take every action we can consistent with those sanctions to prevent that." He said that if the tanker's oil was sold, the revenue would be used by elite units of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
