New Delhi and Tehran were Saturday working to resolve a dispute over the detention of an Indian oil tanker by Iranian naval guards for allegedly polluting sea waters in the Persian Gulf. The Indian government-owned MT Desh Shanti ship was on its way back to India from Iraq when it was stopped Tuesday by the Iranian authorities and taken to Bandar Abbas port. " We are working with Iran through diplomatic channels both in New Delhi and Tehran to resolve the issue," a foreign ministry spokesman told AFP.
