Trump Calls US Navy ‘Like Pirates’ Stealing Iranian OIL And Seizing Ships Near Hormuz Blockade

Donald Trump made a shocking statement, comparing the U.S. Navy’s actions to “pirates” amid a growing naval blockade of Iranian ports. The remarks come as American forces seize Iranian-linked ships and cargo in strategic waters, intensifying the ongoing conflict involving Iran and its allies.

With U.S. and Israeli strikes continuing and retaliatory actions from Tehran, fears are mounting that the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war, impacting global energy markets and inte ational security.
