The week's best images from AP: Aug. 17-23

Associated Press | Wednesday, August 28, 2019 11:37 a.m.

A crew member reaches for a rope at the Grace 1 supertanker, renamed "Adrian Darya 1," in the British territory of Gibraltar, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2019. The shipping agent for the Iranian vessel caught in a diplomatic standoff says it is ready to depart Gibraltar in "24 to 48 hours," despite a last-minute effort by the United States to seize it again. The ship’s release comes amid a growing confrontation between Iran and the West after President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers over a year ago.

Here’s your look at highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.

This week’s gallery includes twins participating in a tango world championship in Argentina; a robot staffing a box office in Tokyo; and rugby players lifted into the air during a match in South Africa.
