US President Donald Trump has made controversial remarks regarding American naval operations, claiming they resemble piracy as US forces seized oil shipments targeting Iran. He recounted an incident where a tanker carrying over two million barrels of oil was forced to turn back after US naval officers warned the captain. In a more aggressive operation, Trump described how US forces disabled a vessel that ignored instructions, allowing them to take control of both the ship and its cargo. Trump's characterization of these operations as a 'blockade' raises significant legal and geopolitical concerns, particularly amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. As the US increases its military presence in critical waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, the implications of Trump's comments could further escalate the situation. Iran has not yet responded to these claims, and no independent verification of the incidents has been provided.
