Iran has announced the release of all crew members aboard the Portuguese-flagged cargo vessel MSC Aries, which included 17 Indians out of a total of 25 crew. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian mentioned this during a phone conversation with Estonian counterpart Margus Tsahkna. The release comes after the vessel, linked to Israel, was seized by Iran's military on April 13. The Iranian foreign ministry stated that the ship's crew was released on humanitarian grounds, but the vessel remains detained under judicial rules due to navigation security concerns.
