Speaking to reporters, Eslami said that Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization took legal action with the Saudi government seeking its release, so that the Iranian oil tanker was released from Jeddah port.
He added the tanker's engines are broken, should be repaired and the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) has undertaken to repair the tanker.
The Iranian taker 'Happiness 1' belonging to NITC, was sailing for the Suez Canal in the Red Sea when its engine developed breakdown.
