According to Iranian media reports, an Iranian military official called on Qatar on the 22nd to transfer the detained Iranian pilot from the water to a hospital on land. The Kazakh side previously denied seizing the Iranian pilot, but said it had allowed Iran to review the details of the search and rescue. A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar reiterated the position of “the Iranian delegation is welcome to visit on this matter” this week. According to Iran's Tasneem News Agency, Mohammed Bagherzad, commander of the Missing Persons Search Committee of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff, said that the location where the Kazakh side detained the Iranian pilots was inappropriate; currently, these pilots are “in poor health.” He also asked the ICRC to send an ambulance to Qatar to expedite the return of wounded and sick detainees to Iran.
