A total of 55 Iranian fishermen detained in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are being repatriated to Iran, Mehr reports.
The Iranian Embassy in Abu Dhabi said that 14 fishermen have already returned to Iran.
Another 11 fishermen are expected to be repatriated in the coming days on Dubai–Mashhad flights.
The embassy said the 55 fishermen had been detained by the UAE Coast Guard in recent months after their GPS systems malfunctioned, causing them to lose their way at sea.
