Wait. They seized a vessel, but they're only *suspected* to be pirates?

All it will take is for Trump to watch on pirate movie that has a rich white man fighting for the crown and I can see Trump using privateers to close the straits of Hormuz at will

They need concrete evidence for a conviction, apparently.

Well sure they could be water bandits or Robbin Boats instead of hoods.

I hate that the sand required for making cement is a limited resource. You'd think it wouldn't be, because sand is sand, right? Nope. It requires a specific type of sand which is only getting rarer as it gets depleted, to the extent that there's a black market for it. 😮‍💨
