ISLAMABAD, May 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. has evacuated 22 crew members held aboard an Iranian container vessel ‌to Pakistan and will hand them over to ‌Iranian authorities on Monday, Pakistan's foreign ministry said, calling the move a "confidence-building measure".

Here ​are some details.

• Iranian-flagged Touska, part of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) that has been hit with sanctions by Washington, was boarded and seized by the U.S. off ‌the coast of ⁠Iran's Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman last month.

• The U.S. Central Command had said ⁠the ship's crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over six hours, and the vessel was in violation of a ​U.S. blockade.

• ​Iran had condemned the ​incident as "unlawful and a violation" ‌of international law, and demanded the immediate release of the vessel, its sailors, and their families.

• The ship will also be moved to Pakistani territorial waters for return to its owners after necessary repairs, Pakistan's foreign ministry said on ‌Monday.

• The U.S.-Israeli war on ​Iran, which began in February, was ​suspended four weeks ago ​after the countries declared a fragile ceasefire. ‌However, Washington and Tehran have since ​engaged in ​naval confrontations and seizures of each other's commercial vessels.

• Peace talks were held last month in Pakistan, which ​has been trying ‌to negotiate an agreement, but did not culminate in ​a deal.
