Axios is out with a report saying that Iran has deployed more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, citing sources. That shines some light on Trump’s earlier post on Truth Social that said: I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine “sweepers” are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level!
Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP Oil prices rose for the third consecutive day and have erased the drop on the “Hormuz is open” message from Iran’s foreign minister.
