Philippines: Iran released 18 sailors of the Saint Nicholas oil tanker

The Philippine government claimed that Iran released 18 crew members of the Saint Nicholas oil tanker and they returned to this country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines announced on Wednesday that the 18 sailors of the country who were on the St. Nicholas oil tanker have returned safely to their country.

It was on January 21, 1402 that the Islamic Republic of Iran Army announced that following the violation of the “Suez Rajan” ship and the theft of Iranian oil by the United States, the aforementioned oil tanker with the new name of Saint Nicholas was seized.

In May 1402, the oil tanker Suez Rajan had stolen the cargo of oil belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran under the direction of the United States and transferred it to the ports of that country and made it available to the United States.

The army also announced that this tanker was seized in retaliation for oil theft by the American regime.

Philippines announced that the country’s sailors arrived in this country in a group, and the last group of 6 of them entered the Philippines last week.

The Philippine government has also thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran in its statement.
