The Iranian tanker Adrian Darya 1 blacklisted by the
United States has been off the coast of
Lebanon and
Syria for the past 24 hours, maritime monitors said on Monday.
The vessel has been zigzagging in the eastern Mediterranean since it was released from the
British overseas territory of Gibraltar on August 18, after being held for six weeks on suspicion it was delivering oil for Tehran's ally Damascus.
"The Adrian Darya 1 has stopped just 45 nautical miles (83km/52 miles) west of Tripoli, Lebanon, in international waters," TankerTrackers, a maritime traffic monitoring website said.
