Greek shipping ministry announces release of two vessels held by Tehran

·

Greece’s shipping ministry has announced that two Greek-flagged vessels seized by Tehran in May have been released following months of negotiations between the two sides. 

According to the ministry, the vessels Prudent Warrior and Delta Poseidon have already left Iran. 

Two people with knowledge of the situation had informed Reuters that Greece and Iran had struck an agreement for the return of the two Greek-flagged tankers that Tehran had captured in the Gulf in May.

In retaliation for the United States seizing oil from an Iranian-flagged vessel in Greece, Iran arrested them in May.
