Tanker freed by Iran docks in Dubai

A British-flagged tanker that was detained by Iran for 10 weeks, docked in Dubai yesterday, after a standoff that has stoked tensions along a vital global shipping route for oil. The Stena Impero, which sailed out of Iranian waters on Friday, was seized by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on July 19, shortly after British forces detained an Iranian tanker off the territory of Gibraltar. The Iranian ship was released in August.
