China asks Iran to help recover its hijacked freighter
TEHRAN, April 6 (MNA) – The Chinese Embassy in Tehran, in a statement posted on its website on Friday, asked the Iranian government to take all necessary steps to recover a Chinese freighter which has been hijacked by pirates off southern Iran and save its crew, according to Xinhua.
The cargo ship, the “Xianghuamen,” belongs to Nanjing Ocean Shipping Co Ltd in Nanjing, eastern China, the embassy said in the posting.

The ship was commandeered Friday morning in the Gulf of Oman near the south Iranian port of Chabahar, the embassy said.

There were no other details, including the number of pirates or crew members.

An official with Nanjing Ocean Shipping contacted by telephone confirmed the hijacking, but would not provide further information.

Iranians must extend all facilities to assist Chinese. Its good that they didn't ask Americans even though Americans have a large navy and presence. The Chinese must think Iranians are capable

I don't have any sympathy for them.
But maybe if were in place of these pirates,we would do the same.Who knows?

They could also work for their money just like billions of other people on this planet

In a war torn country where everyone is trying to find a little piece of food to eat,i don't think there would be a working situation.

We always think that Iran is a very capable nation, unlikely some nations who always did the badmouthing and looking down upon others.

All 28 Chinese sailors are safe now, and all pirates were captured by the Iranian Navy.

Good job Iran, it only took you less than 24 hours to accomplish this difficult task.

I think Iran with a proper time of development could build a strong navy to defend this area, and China likes to do the cooperation with Iran at any time.

Speedy and decisive rescues by the Iranians. Thank You.

Your enemies are watching too, eat their hearts out!
