CAIRO: Egypt said on Wednesday that it is ‍working on ‍securing the release of four ​citizens who were detained by Iran last month ⁠after Tehran seized a foreign tanker on charges of ⁠carrying "smuggled fuel" ‌in the Gulf. In a statement, the Egyptian foreign ministry said four Egyptian ⁠crew members were currently on board the Reem alKhaleej vessel at Iran's Bandar Abbas port. Iran said last month ⁠that it had seized ​a foreign oil tanker carrying 4 million litres of smuggled ‍fuel near the Iranian island of Qeshm in ​the Gulf. It did not name the vessel or disclose its nationality, but said that 16 foreign crew members had been detained on criminal charges. (Reporting by Menna ⁠Alaa El-Din and Yomna Ehab)
