Donald Trump said the US Navy's blockade of Iranian ports during the US-Israel war against Iran was "like piracy."
He made this statement on Friday, recalling that the U.S. military had seized a ship a few days earlier. He said the U.S. had "taken over" the ship, its cargo, and the oil on board.
In his Friday night speech, Trump described the operation as "a very profitable business" and stressed, "We're like pirates."
He also added that the US is "not joking" about this matter. No further details have been released regarding the ship in question or the legal context of the seizure.
