Twenty-two Iranian crew members from the vessel Lenore/Davina were interdicted by U.S. authorities, according to other and Pakistan sources. Separately, eight Iranian fishermen were rescued at sea by the British vessel MMA Valour after their boat ran aground, as confirmed by other and Pakistan sources. Pakistan is facilitating the repatriation of all 30 Iranian nationals, who are expected to transit through Karachi in the coming days, with close coordination among Iranian, U.S., and U.K. authorities.

Alarabiya reported that Iranian sailors reached Pakistan after a U.S. tanker seizure, that the 22 sailors were transferred to Iran’s consulate in Pakistan, and that the Iranian consulate general in Karachi announced their planned return to Iran. Alarabiya also reported that Iranian authorities did not identify the tanker or disclose where or when it was seized. The vessel name Lenore/Davina is not confirmed by Alarabiya, which refers only to an unidentified oil tanker. The claim that the seized vessel is the Lenore/Davina is not corroborated by Alarabiya, though no direct contradiction exists.

Alarabiya reported that the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, resulting in the death of Ali Khamenei. This claim is not corroborated by other sources.
