Trump says US Navy ‘acting like pirates’, calls Iran port blockade ‘profitable business’
US President Donald Trump said the US Navy was acting 'like pirates' while enforcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports during the ongoing war with Iran alongside Israel. Trump described the operation as a 'very profitable business' after US forces took control of a vessel, its cargo, and oil.
US President Donald Trump said the US Navy was acting 'like pirates' while enforcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports. The US and Israel are at war with Iran, which has restricted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The US imposed a blockade on Iranian ports last month after peace talks in Pakistan failed. US forces have intercepted several Iranian-linked vessels, including tankers and sanctioned container ships, in Asian waters. The conflict has driven up oil prices and disrupted global energy flows. The US has redirected 45 vessels to 'ensure compliance' with the blockade.
