I’ve heard about this fishing thing. If those Iranians were fishing illegally in Somalian waters then they have a legitimate beef - but why then hold them? Sail the boat to Somalia, put them off and confiscate their boat so they can go fishing.

Other articles mention they were closer to the Strait of Hormuz, than near Somalia. Once again I was too hasty in my comments. But I do see a net hanging off the bow, so they were fishing, or the pirates were keeping them from retrieving the gear, or who knows? All the news I get just raises more questions.

One short film showed a bunch of Africans standing near the bow with their hands up.
