("If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY!" Trump said on Truth Social.

"If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction!"
U.S. forces have destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, officials said Tuesday.
