Iran will free seven crew members of the detained British tanker Stena Impero, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday. Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told the TV that the seven were freed on humanitarian grounds and could leave Iran soon.
The Stena Impero was detained by Tehran on July 19, two weeks after Britain detained an Iranian tanker off the territory of Gibraltar. That ship was released in August.
