BERMAN: This morning, the United States issuing a new threat to Iran. The State Department tells CNN they're aware of reports that an Iranian tanker, recently released from Gibraltar, against the U.S. government wishes, is now headed to Syria. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is warning the international community not to help tankers believed to be carrying illicit crude oil. CNN's Clarissa Ward live in Tehran with the very latest here. Clarissa, what's going on?</s>CLARISSA WARD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, John. Well, we're hearing multiple reports that the Bonita Queen, a tanker, is reportedly heading towards Syria with hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil on board. A source telling CNN that the company that manages this tanker is the same company that manages the Grace 1 tanker, now called the Adrian Darya tanker. That source also telling CNN that roughly 3 million barrels of oil are smuggling into Syria every single month. Now this comes as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a stern warning to any other countries or organizations that might be thinking of helping Iranian vessels carrying illicit oil. He was speaking at the U.N. Take a listen to what he had to say.</s>MIKE POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE: Made clear that anyone who touches it, anyone who supports it, anyone who allows a ship to dock is at risk of receiving sanctions from the United States of America. So if that ship again heads to Syria, we'll take every action we can consistent with those sanctions to prevent that.</s>WARD: Meanwhile, everybody here is watching very closely to see whether Iranian authorities are going to release the British tanker that they seized in late July as a response to the capture of the Grace 1 tanker in Gibraltar. We know that a court hearing has been underway here but no word yet as to when and if that British tanker, the Stena Impero, will indeed be released. Alisyn.</s>CAMEROTA: Clarissa, it is wonderful to have you in Tehran reporting for us. Thank you so much. There's this disturbing video of high school students giving a Nazi salute. So we'll bring you the story of what the school says is happening there, next.
