"We seriously consider the release of the ship’s crew as a humanitarian issue, and we have announced to their ambassadors in Tehran their access to consular services, release and extradition," Amirabdollahian said during a phone conversation with Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel, as quoted by the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Amirabdollahian did not specify a specific time frame for the release of the ship's crew members.
