The crew members of an Iranian Ship seized by the United States have been transferred to Pakistan. The move was confirmed by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.
According to the official statement, 22 crew members were onboard the vessel at the time of seizure. The ship, identified as MV Touska, was taken into custody after it failed to comply with a US blockade on Iranian ports.
The Foreign Office said the crew members have now been evacuated to Pakistan. This step was described as a confidence-building measure by the United States. The transfer is expected to support ongoing diplomatic efforts between the countries.
The incident began when the Iranian Ship did not follow restrictions imposed under the US blockade. As a result, the vessel was seized, and its crew remained under US custody. The situation raised concerns about the welfare of the crew members.
Officials stated that the safety and well-being of the crew remained a priority throughout the process. Pakistan played a role in facilitating their transfer. Authorities ensured proper arrangements for their arrival and further repatriation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the development. It noted that such steps can help ease tensions and build trust. The statement did not provide details about the future of the vessel itself.
The crew members are expected to be sent back to their home country soon. Officials are coordinating with relevant authorities to complete the process smoothly.
This development highlights the importance of cooperation in maritime issues. It also shows how humanitarian considerations can guide diplomatic actions.
