Iran considers selling seized vessels to fund conflict compensation

Iran has indicated that vessels seized over alleged links to the United States and Israel could be sold to compensate people affected by the recent conflict. Shipping reports have identified the container ships MSC Francesca and Epaminondas among the vessels potentially concerned.
