OSLO/ISTANBUL - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday he wanted to clarify that an Iranian tanker at the center of a dispute between Washington and Tehran was headed towards Lebanese territorial waters, not a Lebanese port. Earlier on Friday, the minister told Reuters the ship was headed to Lebanon’s main port. “I didn’t mean that this tanker is going to a Lebanese port, but according to the information coordinates it is heading to the territorial waters of the country,” he told reporters later at an Oslo forum.
“It doesn’t mean that it is going to reach a Lebanese port. But for sure...it is not coming to Turkish ports either.”Our Standards:
