Indian deck cadet Ann Tessa Joseph, part of the Indian crew on the Israeli-flagged MSC Aries seized by Iran, safely lands at Cochin airport. The Ministry of External Affairs confirms her arrival, stating concerted efforts by the Indian Mission in Tehran and Iranian authorities. Remaining 16 crew members are in good health, with ongoing support from Indian authorities. Earlier talks between External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and Iranian counterpart ensure coordination. Iran seized the vessel amid escalating tensions with Israel. Safety concerns persist as the crew awaits clearance amidst adverse weather conditions in the Persian Gulf.
