"I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be, that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation."
"Since the war began, Iran has controlled the strait and greatly reduced the passage of oil tankers, resulting in spiking energy prices across the globe."
"Iran's leadership denied agreeing to those terms and declared that the strait would instead remain closed in response to Trump's alleged dishonesty."
"A Washington Post report from Wednesday indicated that it could take up to six months to clear the waterway of mines."
President Trump announced that he has ordered the U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any Iranian boats planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The strait has been a contentious area as Iran has controlled it, impacting oil tanker passage and causing global energy price spikes. Trump claimed Iran agreed to reopen the strait and accept peace terms, which Iran denied. He emphasized the urgency of the Navy's actions and stated that mine-clearing operations would be intensified.
