Iran says dispute over seized Maersk ship could be settled in days -IRNA

Danish shipping giant Maersk has insisted on the release of the vessel and crew. Iran says the Maersk Tigris would only be let go once a years-old debt case is settled.

"The negotiations between the private complainant and the other party are going on and possibly the issue will be resolved in a day or two," foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham told a news conference, IRNA said. (Writing by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
