[Regnum] The Russian Embassy in Iran is in constant contact with local authorities and is clarifying the details of the presence of a Russian on board the hijacked MSC Aries vessel to provide consular assistance. This is stated in the Telegram channel of the Russian diplomatic mission in Tehran.

“The Embassy is in constant contact with local authorities to clarify all the details of the presence of Russian citizen T. S. Kolchanov on board the Aries sea vessel in order to provide the necessary consular assistance,” the message says.

The diplomatic mission noted that they are in contact with the sailor’s relatives.

As Regnum reported, on April 13, the naval forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seized the commercial ship MSC Aries in the Strait of Hormuz. A day earlier, it had been in the Persian Gulf near Dubai and, in line with the practice of Israeli-linked ships passing through the region, had turned off tracking data.

A spokesman for the vessel's operator, MSC, said there was a crew of 25 people on board. After the seizure, the route of the container ship was changed, the ship is moving towards Iran.

Telegram channel “Vladivostok No. 1” wrote that sailors from the Primorsky Territory are on board the container ship MSC Aries, captured by Iranian special forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

It was noted that the ship, associated with the Israeli company Zodiac Group of billionaire Eyal Ofer, was sailing from the UAE to India under the Portuguese flag. Special forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) parachuted from a Mi-17 helicopter and captured a container ship.
