At a rally in Florida, US President Donald Trump claimed that the US Navy's actions in the Strait of Hormuz, where they seized Iranian oil tankers, are akin to piracy. He stated, 'We took the ship, we took the cargo, we took the oil. It's a very profitable business,' as the crowd cheered. Trump's comments come after the US Navy intercepted two tankers allegedly carrying Iranian crude, prompting Iran to label the actions as 'armed robbery on the high seas' and a violation of international law. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the US, suggesting that such operations are a legalization of piracy. The US Central Command has redirected 45 vessels to enforce its blockade on Iranian ports, with Pentagon officials indicating that the blockade will last indefinitely. Meanwhile, Iran has vowed to maintain its control over the Strait of Hormuz, further escalating tensions in the region.
