Iran has released five Indian sailors who were detained on an Israel-linked cargo ship. The ship, MSC Aries, was seized by Iran's Revolutionary Guard on April 13. The sailors were among 17 Indians on board. One sailor was released earlier in April. The Indian Embassy in Iran confirmed the release and thanked Iranian authorities for their cooperation. The ship remains in Iranian custody. The sailors' release brings relief to their families and the Indian government, which had been working for their freedom.
