OSLO/BEIRUT - Turkey said on Friday that an Iranian tanker at the center of a confrontation between Washington and Tehran was headed to Lebanon after changing course several times, although Beirut said it was not informed of the plan.
However, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the tanker, which was carrying 2 million barrels of oil when released at Gibraltar, was headed to “the main port in Lebanon.” The apparent confusion underlines the risk of reprisal that countries face taking in the tanker, which was located west of Cyprus and facing north mid-Friday after a series of turns in the Mediterranean Sea, according to tracking data.
Beirut port - the country’s major gateway – is unlikely to have facilities for fully laden supertankers that require deep-water facilities to dock.
