The US justice department has issued a warrant to seize a detained Iranian oil tanker, a day after a judge in Gibraltar ordered it to be released.
The Grace 1 supertanker, which is carrying 2.1m barrels of oil, was detained on 4 July on suspicion of illegally transporting oil to Syria.
A last-minute legal attempt by the US to keep the tanker detained was rejected by Gibraltar on Thursday.
Iran previously called the detention of Grace 1 an "illegal interception".

Anything to keep the failed regime change in Syria alive, and play pirate. The US is building 3 new bases in Syria right now.
Al Tanf is the US’ Jihadi training camp. Not what I voted for President Trump.
Not what you voted for but you are a Syria expert?

You stole my Thunder bro.
This is how you wrestle in diplomacy. We can use that as a leverage for Russian to get out of Venezuela or Ukraine.
I don’t think the Russians care too much but the idea of US judge ordering a seizure of Iranian tanker in Gibraltar is gross. That’s some serious overextension of US jurisdiction. The times of Rome are back. It didn’t end well though.

Have followed every detail of the regime change heavily CIA op known as the Civil War in Syria since a person we know went there as a journo and embedded with the FSA.
He disappeared in August seven years ago. A vid surfaced in October of 2012 showing him with a group of men who spoke Arabic poorly, and we’re dressed in garb not typical of the various Syrian Jihadi or US/UK supported “moderate” rebel/ headchopper groups.
I have followed the news, internet posts, videos, and “war” maps from all sides in both Arabic, English, German, French, Spanish, Persian and Russian.
No, I’m not an expert on Syria, but I am well versed on the governments, players, and agendas at play there, I am also very aware of the propaganda my Gov’t, its allies, and the media spoons out to us.

Yeah, that’s why young people I know from Ft Hood are deploying to Syria next month.
Whenever I see your screen name, I remember what Chris Kyle (RIP) wrote in a copy of his book for me, “Kill ‘em all, and let God sort them out”. After his untimely death, I wished and still wish he had written something else.
My screen name is exactly for trolls like you
Your not a very good ROLCON.
Maybe the Iranians will take heed an issue a warrant first before seizing their next tanker.
So, after the warrant was issued, was the tanker registered in Panama actually siezed to extract the cargo violating US sanctions?
I believe the cargo rather then the vessel is the problem. Who is the actual owner of the oil while at sea? I suspect that if the tanker sank, the insurance proceeds would go to Syria, the actual owner of the marine insured cargo

And you, sadly, are reduced to name calling, a trait of neocons, not conservatives.
