Donald Trump has announced a decisive move — the U.S. will clear Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz.
Hundreds of mines are still blocking a route that carries nearly 20% of the world’s oil, disrupting global trade and markets.
Mine-sweeping ships and underwater drones are already deployed. The mission is risky, with Iranian forces still nearby.
Trump’s stance is clear: the strait will be reopened — with or without Iran’s cooperation.
