Trump says main Hormuz shipping lane cleared of mines

President Trump announced the U.S. Navy has removed or destroyed all mines in international waters of the Strait of Hormuz, warning Iran that any new mines will be met with immediate destruction. Two U.S. officials confirmed the claim to Axios, saying Navy drones scanned the area and detected more than 100 suspected mines after a prior Iranian agreement to remove them collapsed.

Trump also said the Space Force is monitoring 'every square inch' of the strait under what he called a zero-tolerance policy, a phrase whose enforcement mechanism remains as vague as it is emphatic.
