  "account": "Iran has reported that ten fishermen are alive and in the United Arab Emirates, set to return home soon, according to the country's foreign ministry. The missing men were among thirteen who went missing in Gulf waters at the beginning of August. The UAE informed Iran's embassy in Abu Dhabi that the ten fishermen are now in their country and ready to depart for Hormozgan province. Since they did not have their passports, the UAE embassy provided them with travel documents, and they will travel back to Hormozgan on the first flight this week. Soleimani, head of Iran's representative office in Hormozgan province, acknowledged that there is still no information about the remaining three missing fishermen. The incident is the latest in a series of missing fishermen cases reported by Iran, following a July announcement from the UAE that 55 detained Iranian fishermen had returned home after efforts by both countries. As tensions between Iran and the United States remain high, particularly over the Strait of Hormuz, the situation remains uncertain for the remaining missing fishermen.",
