  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said that all mines within the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz had been removed or detonated. According to Trump, Iran had been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines would be immediately and systematically destroyed. He stated that there is a \"Zero Tolerance policy on mine placement in full force and effect\".\n\nThe Strait of Hormuz is a significant waterway for oil transportation, with around 10 million barrels of oil leaving on tankers through the strait itself, often under US naval protection. Other routes, such as Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline and the UAE's Habshan-Fujairah line, have also been used to transport oil, offsetting much of the loss.\n\nTrump also claimed that the US was monitoring the strait through Space Force, along with Iran's Pickaxe Mountain site and three nuclear facilities that he said had already been destroyed.",
