UK summons Iran ambassador, says assurances over oil tanker breached

LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - 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.
"Iran has shown complete disregard for its own assurances
over Adrian Darya 1," foreign minister Dominic Raab said in a
statement, accusing Iran of reneging on a promise not to
transfer oil from the tanker to Syria.
"This sale of oil to (Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's)
brutal regime is part of a pattern of behaviour by the
Government of Iran designed to disrupt regional security."
Britain said it would raise the issue at the United Nations
later this month.
