Trump orders Navy to shoot

President Donald Trump announced on social media that he has ordered U.S. forces to 'shoot and kill' any Iranian vessel attempting to mine the critical Strait of Hormuz.

The directive comes after reports that the IRGC has continued to deploy underwater explosives and seize international cargo ships despite a fragile ceasefire.

Pentagon officials have warned that clearing the waterway could take up to six months, posing a severe threat to global energy security.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy has intensified its own blockade, recently boarding a sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean.
