President Donald Trump stated that the United States Navy operates 'like some pirates' in the context of the naval blockade imposed on Iranian ports, during a speech delivered on Friday. Trump commented on the seizure of a ship by American forces, emphasizing that the U.S. took over the ship, the cargo, and the oil, describing the operation as 'very profitable.'

He also mentioned that some Iranian ships were seized after leaving the ports, while Iran has blocked ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The war between the U.S. and Israel against Iran has led to reciprocal attacks and rising oil prices, thus affecting global shipping. Trump has been criticized for his comments on the conflict, and experts have warned that American attacks could be considered war crimes.
