Portugal calls for release of seized ship, condemns attack on Israel

On Tuesday, Portugal's foreign ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador to reaffirm its condemnation of the recent attack on Israel and to demand the release of the Portuguese-flagged container ship, the MSC Aries, which was seized by Iran on 13 April.

"The Foreign Ministry will await the results of this formal measure and evaluate any additional steps, depending on those," it said in a statement after the meeting.
