TEHRAN, May 29 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia has released an Iranian oil tanker seized by the country's coast guards earlier this year, Iran's state TV reported Saturday.

"The MT Horse, belonging to the National Iranian Tanker Company that had been detained in Indonesian waters since Jan. 24, was released on Friday," said the report.

The vessel was released after a legal battle and efforts by senior Iranian officials and "has now resumed its mission," it added.

In January, Indonesia announced that its coast guard had "seized the Iranian-flagged MT Horse and the Panamanian-flagged MT Freya vessels for suspected illegal oil transfer in the country's waters." Enditem
