  "account": "The United Arab Emirates has strongly denounced an Iranian attack on two tankers belonging to ADNOC in the Strait of Hormuz. This assault took place on the evening of Thursday, August 13, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that no one was injured. The ministry has stated that the action is in direct violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which upholds the principle of unimpeded navigation and condemns any targeting of commercial vessels or obstruction of vital sea lanes. The UAE Ministry asserts that such attacks, carried out by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, pose a significant threat to regional security and the global stability of energy supplies. The UAE has urgently called for an end to these hostile acts by Iran, demanding a full adherence to the resolution and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the safety of global trade and the stability of the international economy. ADNOC, for its part, has reported that the two ships involved in the incident were attacked but suffered no casualties. The company highlighted the critical importance of safeguarding seafarers, maintaining freedom of navigation, and called on everyone to trust only official reports for accurate information on the situation.",
