I know. A real shocker. From the Beeb:
Iran tanker row: Released ship wanted by US 'seen off Syria'
The Iranian oil tanker at the centre of an international incident has been sailing just off the Syrian coast, satellite images appear to show.
The Adrian Darya-1 was seized by Gibraltar in July with the aid of British forces over fears it was bound for Syria, violating EU sanctions.
It was eventually released after assurances were given that it would not head for the war-ravaged country.
But images released on Saturday seemed to show it two nautical miles offshore.
The images, from US company Maxar Technologies, appeared to place the tanker very close to the Syrian port of Tartus on 6 September.
US National Security Advisor John Bolton tweeted that anyone who believed the ship was no longer headed for Syria was "in denial".
"Tehran thinks it's more important to fund the murderous Assad regime than provide for its own people," he said, alongside another satellite picture. "We can talk, but #Iran's not getting any sanctions relief until it stops lying and spreading terror!"
Iran appealed to the United Nations Security Council and those fools believed them.
Haven't they heard about Taqiyya? Right there in their Quran.
