Indian Officials Granted Access to Hijacked Ship Crew in Iran
The Iranian military intercepted the MSC Aries, a Portuguese-flagged cargo ship, near the Strait of Hormuz. With 17 Indian crew members on board, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian allowed Indian authorities to meet them. The Mediterranean Shipping Company is working with Iranian partners to release all 25 crew members, including nationals from India, Pakistan, Russia, Estonia, and the Philippines.
