Trump: Navy Ordered Mine Removal or Detonation in Strait
U.S. President Donald Trump reported that the U.S. Navy informed him it would remove or detonate all mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran was also notified that any vessel planting new mines would be immediately destroyed. This comes amid escalating tensions in the region, with the United States closely monitoring the strait and affirming that oil continues to flow through it thanks to U.S. Navy operations. Reports indicate an increase of 27% in ships passing through the strait over the past week, while maritime trade has decreased by 85% following the prolonged closure of the strait for more than six months.
