The Iranian navy thwarted a pirate attack against an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden on Monday, Iran's state TV said.
"Before crossing the Bab al-Mandeb strait, the tanker was approached by four boats carrying armed men, who were subsequently warded off as the Iranian escort fired warning shots," the state TV reported.
