LONDON/GIBRALTAR - The United States has applied to seize the Iranian Grace 1 tanker in Gibraltar commandeered by British Royal Marines in the Mediterranean last month, complicating a possible tanker swap between Britain and the Islamic Republic.
The Grace 1 oil tanker was seized by marines in a daring landing in darkness off the coast of the British overseas territory on July 4. Gibraltar said the tanker was suspected of smuggling oil to Syria in breach of European Union sanctions. Gibraltar was due to release the Grace 1 vessel but just hours before, the U.S. Department of Justice sought to seize it.
