Iran capable of sending US warship, forces to ‘graveyard’

Iranian supreme leader’s military adviser Mohsen Rezaei has called the United States "the only pirate in the world that possesses aircraft carriers" and warned that Tehran is capable of sending US warships and military to a "graveyard."

"The US is the only pirate in the world that possesses aircraft carriers. Our ability to confront pirates is no less than our ability to sink warships. Prepare to face a graveyard of your carriers and forces, just as the wreckage of your aircraft was left behind in Isfahan," he wrote on his X page.

US President Donald Trump acknowledged on May 2 that US forces act "like pirates" during the seizure of tankers carrying Iranian oil.
