LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - The Iranian ambassador in London
accused the United States of desperately trying to stop the
authorities in Gibraltar from releasing the Grace 1 Iranian oil
tanker, saying the American effort had been defeated.
"America desperately tried to block the release of the
tanker at the last minute, but faced a miserable defeat," the
ambassador, Hamid Baeidinejad, said in a tweet in Farsi.
"All preparations are done for the tanker to sail into open
waters, and the vessel will soon leave Gibraltar."
