According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially acknowledged that his administration operates like pirates and bears no resemblance to a normal state.
The report states that Trump said in recent remarks: “We went down onto the ship and seized it. We took the cargo and also seized the oil. It is a very profitable business.”
He further added: “We are like pirates. We are, to some extent, similar to pirates.”
This comes as the U.S. military, on Trump’s orders, has been blocking Iranian ports for several weeks and has claimed to have seized several Iranian commercial vessels.
