Iran's official IRNA news agency reported that its government released the Maersk Tigris cargo ship today.

On April 28, Iranian forces seized the ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The seizure followed a legal complaint from a private Iranian company.

The incident took place while Iran and the U.S. are negotiating Iran’s nuclear program and international economic restrictions. At the same time, the U.S. is supporting Saudi Arabia in its air campaign against Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen.

After the Maersk seizure, the U.S. announced that its Navy will escort all U.S.-registered vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

The strait is the path for one-fifth of the world’s oil transport.
