Two Iranian ships stranded off the coast of Brazil for weeks will set sail this weekend, officials said Saturday, after a court-ordered state oil giant Petrobras to fill up the vessels.
Petrobras would not confirm if it was complying with the Supreme Court order handed down Thursday for it to refuel the ships. The Supreme Court order came after Iran’s top envoy to Brazil told Bloomberg that Tehran could suspend imports from Brazil if the issue was not resolved. Petrobras had said the Iranian vessels and the Iranian company that owns those ships — reportedly Sapid Shipping — were sanctioned by the United States.
