Expected end of line, etc. but found “script”

I wrote a very basic apple script that opens iTerm and goes to a file:

tell application "iTerm"
    activate
    do script "cd ~" in tab 1
end tell

If I try to run this however, I get a Syntax Error:

Expected end of line, etc. but found “script”.

Any idea why this is the case?

Is there some incorrect syntax in this script?

Yes, it turns out that the syntax was incorrect.

This works:

tell application "iTerm"
    create window with default profile
    tell current session of current window
        write text "cd ~"
    end tell
end tell
