DUBAI/STOCKHOLM—A British-flagged tanker that was detained by Iran for 10 weeks, docked in Dubai on Sept. 28, 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 Sept. 27, was detained for alleged marine violations by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in the Strait of Hormuz on July 19. The seizure came weeks after Britain had seized an Iranian tanker off the coast of Gibraltar. That vessel was released in August.
