Iran has released a fuel tanker it seized last week in the Strait of Hormuz, with all 21 crew members reported safe. The vessel, en route from the United Arab Emirates to Singapore, was detained by Iranian forces for allegedly carrying unauthorized cargo. While the tanker has now resumed normal operations, the fate of its high-sulfur gas oil cargo remains unclear. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in the region, where Iran has previously seized ships in the strategic waterway crucial for global energy supplies.
