Iran agrees to free South Korean ship crew after nearly a month of captivity Print this article
Iran appears ready to free the crew of a South Korean tanker ship after it was captured early last month.
Both countries announced on Tuesday that the 20-member crew, which includes South Korean, people of Myanmar, Vietnamese, and Indonesian sailors, would be freed after South Korea agreed to address Iran’s complaints about the release of some $7 billion in assets that were frozen in Seoul because of United States sanctions against the Iranian regime, according to the
New York Times.
The
MT Hankuk Chemi, which was carrying some 7,200 tons of chemicals, was seized by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in the Persian Gulf on Jan. 4. Tehran said it seized the ship because of “oil pollution” fears, although its seizure was apparently used as leverage to get Seoul to release the funds.
