Search efforts are under way to locate 13 fishermen from the city of Bandar Lengeh in Iran’s Hormozgan province who went missing at sea. The fishermen have not returned from the sea for seven days.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has begun corresponding with its embassies in Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar to determine whether the fishermen were detained or accidentally entered the territorial waters of those countries.
Search teams are continuing technical operations in the waters around Siri Island. However, the searches have produced no results so far.
