Earlier, the US handed over 22 crew members of the seized plane to Pakistan as a confidence-building measure with Iran. Last week, six of these crew members were already returned to Iran through another regional country.
The Iranian ship Toska was taken into US custody for violating the US blockade, prompting the diplomatic and logistical arrangements for the crew’s return.
