Iran has released 10 Indian sailors who were detained after their tanker was intercepted near Jask Port in July 2025. India’s shipping authorities said the crew of MV Harbour Phoenix was freed after months of quiet diplomatic efforts between New Delhi and Tehran. The sailors had been held for nearly a year following the vessel’s seizure in the Gulf region. India is now arranging their return home. The incident highlights the risks faced by thousands of Indian merchant navy crew members working across Gulf shipping routes amid regional tensions, fuel smuggling crackdowns, and sensitive diplomatic balancing in West Asia.
