Bekai: The US Secretary of State accuses Iran of something they are proud of: piracy! Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bakai: Accusing Iran of attacking ships, the US Secretary of State claimed: "We haven't seen anything like this since World War II and the era of the Pirates of the Caribbean." Meanwhile, on May 1, 2026, the President of the United States spoke proudly of seizing commercial ships and stealing their oil cargoes, saying: "We are like pirates. "Actually, we're kind of pirates." "Perhaps the president will not be too happy when he finds out that his foreign minister has so quickly forgotten the boast about being a 'pirate'."
