Greek shipping ministry says two vessels detained by Tehran have been released
Greece’s shipping ministry said on Wednesday that two Greek-flagged vessels seized by Tehran in May have been released after months of negotiations between the two sides.
The ministry said that the vessels Prudent Warrior and Delta Poseidon have left Iran.
Earlier in the day, two sources familiar with the matter had told Reuters that Greece and Iran had reached a deal for the release of the two Greek-flagged tankers seized by Tehran in the Gulf in May.
Ship tracking data showed the vessels Delta Poseidon and MT Prudent Warrior were underway from Iran.
Iran detained them in May in response to the confiscation of oil by the United States from an Iranian-flagged tanker in Greece.
