In a major relief, Iran has released the seven Indian crew members the Revolutionary Guard Corps had detained after they had seized the British-flagged oil tanker Stena Impero on 19 July, reports Asian News International (ANI).
Releasing the men, Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson said that his country had no problem with the crew or the captain of the ship. He said, "The ship has been stopped because of its violation of laws and it is natural to detain the crew with the ship."
After the detention, India had requested consular access for its men. After the review of the individual permits and the consular status, India got consular access to the Indian crew members recently.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
