The Iranian tanker caught in a stand-off between Tehran and the West is expected...
Tehran said it was ready to dispatch its naval fleet to escort the tanker - now renamed the ‘Adrian Darya-1’ - if required.
On Sunday, video footage and photographs showed the tanker flying the red, green and white flag of Iran and bearing its new name, painted in white, on the hull. Its previous name, ‘Grace 1’, had been painted over. The vessel’s anchor was still down. The two vessels have since become pawns in a bigger game, feeding into wider hostilities since the United States last year pulled out of an international agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program, and reimposed economic sanctions.
