all ships must answer distress calls if they are in the vicinity. of course that might not include piracy. i'd imagine the iranian captives didn't care whose flag was flying from the mast, they're just happy to be home. well, i guess they're happy to be home. at least i'm sure they were happy to be rescued.

i think merchant shipping might consider hiring some armed guards for their vessels in that region. a couple of .50 cals in the right spot, and in the right hands, would nip piracy in the bud.
