Iran’s Special Operations forces conducted a secret raid to rescue four Iranian hostages in Somalia.
Iranian hostages were four fishermen taken captive by pirates in international waters near Somalia in 2015.
“Iranian intelligence agents successfully rescued the fishermen through an intelligence-operational plan and brought them back to homeland,” reads a statement released by Iranian Intelligence Ministry.
The fishermen were all Sunni Muslims from the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
