TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian state radio says Iran has sent a warship to the coast of Somalia to protect its cargo ships against piracy.

My Comment: This means that Iran's frigate will be looking at the U.S. fleet in the area. I wonder if they are more interested in the fleet, than a bunch of pirates? Rumors have been circulating that Iranian arms are reaching the Islamists in Somalia via through Eritria.
Hmmmm....
Oh cynical me.
