The UK will release Iran’s detained oil equipment, Dariush Amir Sardari Goudarzi, deputy director of Iranian Oil Pipelines and Telecommunications Company said.
Goudarzi said that a "UK company", has recently released two oil transfer turbines which were held in the country due to international sanctions, Mehr news agency reported Dec. 17.
Goudarzi did not name the UK company, or name whether the company was official or private.
