  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said all mines had been removed or detonated from the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, the US, through its Space Force, is monitoring every square inch of the Strait. He warned Iran that any ship or boat placing new mines would be destroyed.\n\nOman and Iran have agreed on a framework to resume safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. This includes establishing a joint temporary shipping lane and a project to demine the waterway, according to a joint statement. The agreement was reached during talks between Oman's Foreign Minister and his Iranian counterpart.\n\nThe Strait of Hormuz is a key waterway for oil and gas shipping. Prior to the war, it carried roughly 20 million barrels of oil a day. Currently, around 10 million barrels per day leave on tankers through the strait, often under US naval protection. Additionally, around 5-6 million barrels move by air and through pipelines built or expanded since the war began.",
