Washington — Special Report
US President Donald Trump has issued direct orders to the United States Navy to target and strike any vessel — regardless of size — found laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
The announcement comes at a time of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the strategic waterway at the center of an increasingly volatile standoff.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints for global oil supply. Any military escalation in the area risks severe consequences for international energy markets and global trade.
Analysts suggest the order serves as a stark warning to Iran against any attempt to disrupt or block the vital shipping lane.
The White House has not yet issued a formal written statement, and no immediate response has been received from Tehran.
