Trump plans to de-mine Strait of Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Navy has removed all mines from international waters in the Strait of Hormuz. He confirmed that Iran has been informed that any vessel or boat planting new mines in the area will be destroyed, and that the United States is fully monitoring the strait through space-based forces. He also pointed out that the number of ships passing through the strait has significantly decreased to its lowest level since early May, with a decline in oil flows through the strait, which previously accounted for about 20% of global shipments before the war. This comes as part of Washington's efforts to increase pressure on Iran by expanding economic sanctions and warning countries against dealing with Iran in a manner that links it to the international financial system.
