US Navy acting 'like pirates' to carry out naval blockade of Iran's ports, says Trump

Trump stated that the US Navy was acting like ‘pirates’ while carrying out a naval blockade of Iranian ports. The ongoing war between Iran and Israel has led to rising oil prices and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with the US highlighting its military successes while acknowledging the continued threat posed by Iran. CNN reported that at least 16 of 19 US military installations in the Middle East have been damaged by Iranian precision strikes, a previously unseen situation.
