Iran condemns US seizure of oil tankers as ‘piracy’ Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, denounced the US capture of two Iran-linked tankers, the Majestic X and the Tifani. “This is the outright legalization of piracy and armed robbery on the high seas,” he said in a post. He added that such actions are being framed as law enforcement despite targeting commercial vessels.
