"Twenty-two crew members held aboard the seized Iranian container ship, MV Touska, have been evacuated to Pakistan as a confidence-building measure by the United States. The individuals were flown to Pakistan on Sunday night and will be handed over to the Iranian authorities today."
"Custody of Touska is currently being transferred back to its original ownership after the ship was intercepted and seized when attempting to violate the US naval blockade against Iran last month."
"Pakistan welcomes such confidence-building measures and will continue to facilitate dialogue and diplomacy while pursuing ongoing mediation efforts for regional peace and security."
The crew members of the Iranian ship MV Touska, seized by the US for violating a blockade, have been transferred to Pakistan for repatriation. The transfer, facilitated by the US Central Command, involved 22 crew members flown to Pakistan, where they will be handed over to Iranian authorities. The ship will also return to its original owners after repairs. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry expressed support for confidence-building measures and ongoing mediation efforts for regional peace and security.
