The news has led CN Wire to tweet: "Iran navy fends off attack on oil tanker in Gulf of Aden." On Saturday Iranian naval vessels repelled pirates who attacked an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden. Iran's state media reported that pirates in five speedboats attacked the unidentified tanker.
However, the pirates fled after facing heavy gunfire from Iran's navy.
Iran’s navy has deployed vessels to the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian ships from Somali pirate attacks in recent years.
Iranian vessels have come under increased attack in the region.
In August, an Iranian oil tanker came under attack by 12 Somalian pirate boats.

The Iranian tankers were being sent to Syria to be later transferred to Lebanon.
Hezbollah has warned that any shipments of Iranian oil headed for Lebanon is considered "Lebanese territory".
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned before the first ship departed Iran that "from the moment the Iranian ship sails, Hezbollah will consider it Lebanese territory."
