Trump: Mines fully removed from Strait of Hormuz

President Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. Navy has cleared all mines from the main shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz. The operation, conducted over several months, will allow more oil tankers to transit the strait and reduces Iran's leverage over global energy markets. Trump warned that any ship placing new mines will be 'immediately and systematically destroyed,' with the U.S. Space Force monitoring the strait.
