  "account": "Iranian state media reported that several Iranian prisoners held in the United Arab Emirates have been freed. President Masoud Pezeshkian announced the return of these prisoners to Iran within hours, amid growing economic strain. He explained that his government has implemented new measures to navigate Iran's challenging circumstances. Pezeshkian stated that the enemy's strategy has been to target Iran's vital infrastructure, aiming to make regular Iranians feel the pressure. Despite this, he emphasized that public support and government actions have thwarted the enemy's attempts to achieve their objectives in the economic war. The Iranian rial experienced a new low, with the central bank actively selling dollars to stabilize its value. In the Middle East, two oil tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz, with ongoing violence in Yemen and an Israeli air strike in Gaza City resulting in at least five casualties. India reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of its seafarers following the rescue of five Indian nationals in the Hormuz Strait. This strategically significant waterway is crucial for oil and cargo destined for India, making it a prime target for potential attacks.",
