Iran has unleashed a sharp warning against the United States after reports of strikes on merchant vessels carrying Indian crew off the coast of Oman, calling the actions “armed theft” and “maritime piracy.” Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei accused Washington of escalating tensions on the high seas and directly backed India amid the fallout. The statement didn’t just condemn the attacks—it ignited a diplomatic firestorm, raising fears of broader retaliation and intensifying scrutiny over maritime security, global trade routes, and rising geopolitical friction in already volatile international waters.
