Unusual statement by Trump regarding the naval blockade on Iran

During the past day, various media outlets reported on an unusual statement by former President Donald Trump regarding the naval blockade imposed on Iran. Trump referred to these operations as a "very profitable business," and even added a controversial comparison.

According to Israel News | Uncensored, a channel characterized by a blunt and unfiltered editorial line, Trump was quoted as saying: "It's a very profitable business, we're like pirates."

This report, which was also disseminated by Asaf Rozenzwaig, News from the Great World and 🚨Current Security News🚨, attracted attention due to the colorful and direct phrasing Trump chose to describe the economic-security strategy toward Tehran.
