VIDEO | "We took over the ship, took over the cargo, took over the oil. We're like pirates." In a blunt admission of the US military’s role in the current aggression against Iran, President Donald Trump declared on Friday that the US Navy is now acting "like pirates" to enforce a total naval blockade of Iranian ports. During remarks in Florida, Trump boasted about the recent seizure of an Iranian-linked vessel, gloating over the capture of its cargo and crude oil as a "very profitable business." The admission confirms that the US has transitioned from its traditional rhetoric of "freedom of navigation" to a policy of state-sanctioned maritime theft, with Trump explicitly stating, "We’re sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."
