President Trump announced Tuesday that all mines in the Strait of Hormuz's international waters have been detonated or removed, warning Iran that any vessel planting new mines will be destroyed. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated the US Space Force is monitoring "every square inch" of the strait, a critical global energy waterway, and enforcing a "zero tolerance policy" on mine placement. Attacks on vessels have continued despite no direct US-Iran air strikes for weeks. Oil transits through the strait fell to 5 million barrels per day Monday, down from over 20 million before the war, according to Vortexa data.
