Greece promises US it won't help an Iranian oil tanker reach Syria
David Reid

After urgent prompting by the U.S, Greece confirmed it won’t help an Iranian oil tanker headed east in the Mediterranean Sea to deliver oil to Syria.

On July 4, Gibraltar authorities with the help of the British Royal Marines, seized the Grace 1 oil tanker following suspicions it was delivering oil to the Syrian regime — a violation of EU sanctions.

Gibraltar is a U.K. overseas territory at the southern tip of Spain that sits at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.

A lot of fuss over a tanker but good when allies work today. Good for Greece!

I'm confused:  Why would a tanker need assistance from Greece (or anybody else) to traverse the length of the Mediterranean Sea?  Does it have no compass, rudder or engines?
