Trump says US has started clearing mines from Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has stated that the United States military has begun the process of 'clearing out' the Strait of Hormuz. He made this claim publicly, suggesting the operation is aimed at removing naval mines reportedly laid by Iran.

According to a New York Times report cited in the coverage, the situation is complicated because Iran has allegedly lost track of the locations of some of the mines it deployed. This development comes as Iran has threatened to attack unauthorized ships in the strategic waterway.
