Oil Tanker That Fled Collision Site Is Detained In Malaysia<\/h3>\n

SINGAPORE, July 22 (Reuters) – A tanker that fled the scene of a fiery Friday collision off Singapore entered the area of Malaysia’s Bertam floating oil terminal on Monday after being tracked down and intercepted by Malaysian authorities, shipping data from LSEG and Kpler showed.<\/p>\n

The Sao Tome and Principe-flagged supertanker Ceres I had left the scene of the collision with the Singapore-flagged tanker Hafnia Nile about 55 km (35 miles) northeast of the Singaporean island of Pedra Branca without explanation.<\/p>\n

The Ceres I, which was believed to have turned off its tracking system after the accident, was then found in Malaysian waters with two tugboats towing it, Malaysia’s coast guard said.<\/p>\n

Industry experts say the Ceres I is known to have carried Iranian oil in the past, and LSEG and Kpler data showed the supertanker discharged Iranian crude via ship-to-ship transfers in Malaysia’s Linggi transshipment hub in April.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the difficult years that PMOI members in Iraq were under a full siege and were facing bombings and attacks by allies of Iran\u2019s regime, the mullahs in Tehran were celebrating because the primary threat to their despotic rule was struggling for survival. At the same time that PMOI members in Ashraf were under pressure, the Iranian Resistance also came under attack in France and had to prove their innocence by going through severe trials. Twelve governments were making large-scale economic deals with the Iranian regime at the expense of the PMOI. They were targeted by the worst demonization plots, and the regime was manipulating human rights organizations against them. Nouri al-Maliki, then Prime Minister of Iraq and a close ally of the Iranian regime, set multiple deadlines for them, and they were often exposed to bloody attacks, defenseless and weaponless.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Darvish, an environmental expert, highlights the increasing imbalance in Iran\u2019s aquifers, widespread soil surface dryness, and destruction of vegetation. He states, \u201cIn the central regions of Iran, including Isfahan, Yazd, Markazi, Semnan, Tehran, Alborz, and Qazvin, we face a series of water-consuming and energy-consuming industries that contribute to significant pollution and make the landscape more prone to dust storms.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with the state-run website Entekhab, Darvish criticized the economic development policies of the Iranian regime, particularly the concentration of water-intensive industries in arid and low-water areas. He added, \u201cAll economic strategies should not rely solely on water extraction. The government\u2019s responsibility is to create businesses that do not pollute the air and water.\u201d<\/p>\n
