Iran said on Saturday it had dispatched a warship to the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian vessels against pirates hijacking ships, state radio reported. An Iranian-chartered vessel was seized near Yemen on November 18. Another vessel, the Iran Deyanat, was seized in August and released in October.
"An Iranian warship entered the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian commercial ships against pirates there," state radio quoted an unnamed Iranian navy official as saying.
