Trump orders Navy to shoot

President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated military tensions by ordering U.S. forces to 'shoot and kill' any Iranian boats caught mining the Strait of Hormuz.

The directive comes amid a fragile ceasefire and reports of Iranian commandos boarding foreign commercial vessels in the vital energy corridor.

U.S. officials claim total control over the waterway, yet the Pentagon warns that clearing existing mines could take up to six months.

This military posturing has sent global oil prices surging as markets weigh the risk of a full-scale return to hostilities.
