Indians on seized ship ‘MSC Aries’ not detained, to return home once weather improves: Iran envoy

He added that the crew of the ship have not been detained and they can leave the ship whenever they wish to.

According to the Iranian envoy, the weather situation in the Persian Gulf is not good and the Indians on the ship will be sent home once the weather clears. He said Iran’s officials informed the Ministry of External Affairs that the Indian nationals will be sent home once weather conditions improve and a boat can be used to reach the ship.

Iraj Elahi also said Iran has also informed Russia, Pakistan and the Philippines that their crew on the ship is safe.

When asked about his view on India’s role in the conflict between Iran and Israel, Iraj Elahi said, “We believe that India has a rising power as a big country. As an important partner for Israel and Iran, it can play an active and constructive role. We hope that not only India, but all countries have a neutral position in this tension.
