He said he had a “constructive call” with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif about the tanker that was held off the coast of Gibraltar.
Iran said they wanted to resolve the issue and are not seeking to “escalate”, Mr Hunt said.
The tanker was seized in an operation on July 4 involving Royal Marines from 42 Commando.
