News Wrap: Defying U.S., Gibraltar releases seized Iranian tanker
In our news wrap Thursday, Gibraltar has released the Iranian tanker it seized in July under suspicion of transporting oil to Syria, a violation of international sanctions. Authorities allowed the tanker to leave despite a last-minute effort by the U.S. to claim possession--a move Iran called a “piracy attempt.” Also, the gunman in an hours-long standoff with Philadelphia police is now in custody.
