Iranian tanker Adrian Darya, at the center of a dispute between
Washington and Tehran, has changed course away from the
Turkish coast, Refinitiv ship tracking data showed on Thursday.
The tanker, formerly called Grace 1, was released from detention off Gibraltar in mid-August after a five-week standoff over whether it was carrying Iranian oil to
Syria in violation of
European Union sanctions.
On Monday, IRIB news agency quoted an Iranian government spokesman as saying that
Iran had sold the oil from the Adrian Darya and the vessel's owner will decide on its next destination.
