The oil from the tanker was refilled into the tanks of the port of Karystos on the island of Evia in the Aegean Sea. The reason for the confiscation was the violation of sanctions against Iran.

The US confiscated Iranian oil stored on a Russian ship near Greece’s island of Evia in the Aegean Sea. On Thursday, May 26, Reuters reported citing its sources.

It was noticed that the United States confiscated Iranian oil stored on a Russian ship near Greece and would send the cargo to the United States aboard another ship.

The AP also reports the confiscation. According to the agency, after the court’s decision on violating the sanctions, the oil from the tanker was reloaded to the capacities of the port of Karystos on the island of Evia in the Aegean Sea.

The Lana tanker was carrying more than 100 thousand tons of Iranian oil, which violated US and EU sanctions imposed against Iran. Previously, the tanker was called Pegas, but now it is named Lana. Served with his crew of 19 Russians.

A U.S. Department of Justice spokesman declined to comment on the oil seizure.

It will be recalled that last year, the United States bought oil from Iran for the second time in 30 years. As you know, the United States still maintains sanctions against Iran’s oil sector and threatens second sanctions against Iranian oil importers.

As reported, in May 2018, the United States withdrew from the nuclear deal with Iran and re -imposed sanctions against Tehran, including secondary ones, that is, against other countries doing business with Iran.
