Iran to free detained British-flagged tanker Stena Impero members - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Iran will free seven crew members of the detained British-flagged tankerForeign Ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi told the TV that the seven, who include Indian citizens, were allowed to leave the tanker on humanitarian grounds and could leave Iran soon.

“We have no problem with the crew and the captain and the issue is violations that the vessel committed,” Mousavi says. The Swedish-owned Stena Impero was detained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on July 19 in the Strait of Hormuz waterway for alleged marine violations, two weeks after Britain detained an Iranian tanker off the territory of Gibraltar. That ship was released in August.

The seizure of the Iranian tanker exacerbated tensions between Tehran and the West since the United States last year pulled out of an international agreement curbing Iran’s nuclear program and re-imposed economic sanctions.
