"The Foreign Ministry called it a 'confidence-building measure' with support from both sides. The crew would then be returned to Iran, a statement read."
"The announcement pertains to the Iranian-flagged shipping vessel Touska, which was seized by US forces last month near the coast of Iran's Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman."
"US Central Command said that the ship's crew had refused to comply with six hours of repeated warnings that it was breaching a US blockade."
"Pakistan said it will return the ship to Iran after necessary repairs have been made."
Pakistan confirmed the evacuation of 22 crew members from the Iranian container ship Touska, seized by the US. The Foreign Ministry described this as a confidence-building measure. The crew will be returned to Iran after evacuation. The Touska, part of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, was seized near Chabahar port for breaching a US blockade. Pakistan plans to return the ship to Iran after repairs. Efforts for peace talks have not yielded significant results since US strikes on Iran began in February.
