An Iranian news agency close to the elite Revolutionary Guards said that any US act of 'piracy' against an Iranian fuel shipment to Venezuela will have repercussions. A senior official in President Donald Trump's administration told Reuters on Thursday the United States was considering measures it could take in response to Iran's shipment of fuel to crisis-stricken Venezuela. 'If the United States, just like pirates, intends to create insecurity on international waterways, it would be taking a dangerous risk and that will certainly not go without repercussion,' the Nour news agency said early on Saturday, citing reports that US warships were heading to the Caribbean.
