President Trump reported on Truth Social that the US Navy has removed or detonated all mines in the Strait of Hormuz. They warned Iran they will pay a heavy price if they try to lay more of them.
I have just been informed by the United States Navy that all mines have been removed and/or detonated from within the International Waters of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be immediately and systematically destroyed.
Through Space Force, we are watching every square inch of the Strait, as we are, also, with Pickaxe Mountain and the already destroyed three other Nuclear sites. There is a Zero Tolerance policy on mine placement in full force and effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
We still have the drones, but the US is getting better at deflecting them.
Additionally, Iran and Oman are discussing restoring safe passage in the Strait.
A phased framework to restore safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz was discussed by the Omani and Iranian Foreign Ministers, described as a practical and implementable basis – Joint Statement. https://t.co/9wIm3C9ftX
