DUBAI, July 21 (Reuters) - Iran said on Sunday that all 23
crew members of the seized British-flagged Stena Impero tanker
were "safe and in good health", the head of the Ports and
Maritime Organisation of Iran in Hormozgan Province told state
TV.
"All the 23 crew members are aboard the ship are safe and in
good health in Bandar Abbas port," said Allahmorad Afifipour.
Britain has denounced Iran's seizure of the oil tanker in
the Gulf on Friday as a "hostile act", rejecting Tehran's
explanation that it had seized the vessel because it had been
involved in an accident.
The crew are from India, Latvia, the Philippines and Russia.
