Britain summons Iranian ambassador, claiming assurances on oil tanker were breached

Britain summoned the Iranian ambassador on Tuesday to condemn what it said was a clear breach of the assurances it was given over the oil cargo of the tanker Adrian Darya 1, which had previously been detained for breaching EU sanctions.

Dominic Raab issued a statement after satellite pictures emerged that showed the tanker, also called the Adrian Darya 1, approaching a port in Syria.
