US President Donald Trump declares that within the last few hours, the American military has “hit and completely destroyed 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow!”
He publishes the news on his Truth Social account moments after an earlier post in which he said that the US has not received any reports of Iran laying such mines in the Strait of Hormuz, while threatening Tehran if it were to take such actions.
