The United States transferred the 22-person crew of an Iranian vessel that American forces seized last month, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said on Monday.
The ministry described the transfer as a “confidence-building measure” and said in a statement the individuals were flown to Pakistan on Sunday and will be handed over to Iranian authorities on Monday, though it did not say where they were flown from.
