Trump steps up Iran pressure
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. Navy informed him that all mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz had been removed or destroyed, warning Iran against destroying any new ships that plant mines. He also pointed to comprehensive American surveillance of the strait and a strengthened policy of zero tolerance towards mine-laying. Additionally, he accused Iran of failing to pay the wages of its military forces and of committing violations, including killing protesters. Iran, in response, issued threats of countermeasures and expressed readiness to confront U.S. sanctions through its own means, hinting at cooperation with China and Russia. Meanwhile, a oil tanker was damaged near the Strait of Hormuz under unknown circumstances, amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran regarding maritime policies and economic sanctions.
