Trump: All mines cleared from Hormuz, Space Force watching nuclear sites, strait
"Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be immediately and systematically destroyed," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday via his Truth Social post that the US Navy has cleared the Strait of Hormuz of all mines. The president emphasized that Iran has been informed that any ship or boat placing new mines in the water will face immediate and systematic destruction. Trump stated that there is now a "Zero Tolerance policy" on mine placement in the Strait.
He further explained that Space Force is monitoring every inch of the Strait, along with other strategic locations such as Pickaxe Mountain and three other nuclear sites that have already been destroyed. Pickaxe Mountain, situated 220 km (140 miles) south of Tehran and 2 km (1.2 miles) away from the Natanz nuclear complex, was targeted in Iran's war in June 2025, along with other operations including Operation Midnight Hammer, Roaring Lion, and Epic Fury.
