Iran released 10 U.S. sailors it had detained after their boats strayed into Iranian waters, easing frictions that have intensified ahead of the implementation of the July nuclear accord.

“After it was made clear that the U.S. boats had unintentionally entered into the Islamic Republic’s waters and they apologized, the decision to free them was taken,” the country’s Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday in a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency.
