Karachi: In a move aimed at easing regional tensions, Pakistan has facilitated the transfer of 22 crew members from the Iranian container ship ‘MV Touska,’ which was previously seized. The transfer is part of a confidence-building measure by the United States, with the crew members arriving in Pakistan and set to be handed over to Iranian authorities.
According to Radio Pakistan, the Iranian vessel will also be transported back into Pakistani territorial waters for necessary repairs before being returned to its original owners. This operation has been coordinated with support from both Iranian and U.S. parties.
A Foreign Office Spokesperson stated that Pakistan welcomes such measures and remains committed to facilitating dialogue and diplomacy while continuing mediation efforts to ensure regional peace and security.
