US President Donald Trump said that the US Navy informed him that all mines have been cleared from the Strait of Hormuz in a Tuesday Truth Social post.

“All mines have been removed and/or detonated from within the International Waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” the president wrote.

“Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be immediately and systematically destroyed,” he added.

“There is a Zero Tolerance policy on mine placement in full force and effect,” he said.

“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.”
