On Saturday, Esmaeil Baqaei wrote in a post on X that Trump openly described the interception of Iranian ships as acting like pirates.
Baqaei said, “The President of the United States has openly described the unlawful seizure of Iranian vessels as ‘piracy,’ brazenly boasting that ‘we act like pirates.’”
“This was no verbal slip. It was a direct and damning admission of the criminal nature of their actions against international maritime navigation. The international community, UN Member States, and the UN Secretary-General must firmly reject any normalization of such blatant violations of international law.”
