Iranian fishermen illegally fishing are captured and one dies during the clash,the question is why iranian fishermen prefer to go near somali waters with out license?
1 week ago,iranian vessel fishing was captured,after paying ransom they were transported to inland for trial.usually ,there vessels are confiscated and used as a mother pirate ship.

Iranian fishermen clashed with pirates off the coast of Somalia.

Deputy head of the Iran Fisheries Organization, Ali Askar Mujahideeni said that two fishermen were killed and several injured in the clash:

“We advised fishermen not to travel Somali coast in order to ensure their safety and said them ask for assistance of the Iranian sailors in such cases,” he said.

He said that two fishing vessels are still in the hands of pirates and Iranian security forces are working to free them. Mujahideeni said that several Iranian fishing vessels were arrested in the ports of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and other countries. “We are currently working through diplomatic channels to release those vessels,” he said.

you don't need a license for fishing near Somali waters (international waters) and due to technical failure these fishermen had to enter Somali waters and caught by pirates.
 
thailand also suffered because they bring their fishing vessels far away from their country,you cant imagine the stress these fishermen feel even when they encounter other somali fishermen or pirates ,my point is the EEZ of somali should be respected.
