Update: MV Iran Deyanat, the Pirated Iranian vessel
It is believed the iron ore the Iranians claim is on the ship is a radioactive substance as experts state no chemical agent will produce the results that have afflicted the pirates, such as hair falling out and skin burns. The number of pirates that have fallen ill or died is unknown.
Talks with Iran fell through when the pirates were poisoned by the cargo according to Andrew Mwangura, Director of the Kenya based East African Seafarers' Assistance Program.
There is more data available on the ship itself. The information is provided by VesselTracker.com

The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys.

As I get older, I've learned to listen to people rather than accuse them of things.

I think that to get the loan from banks you must have a good motivation. Nevertheless, one time I have received a consolidation loan, just because I wanted to buy a building.
