WHAT HAPPENED
On Monday, former President Donald Trump announced that the United States had cleared the Strait of Hormuz of Iranian mines, claiming U.S. control over the critical oil shipping route. According to JPost.com – The Jerusalem Post, the mine sweep was presented as a strategic win for U.S. maritime security.
Trump stated that the clearance removed all mines from the entire strait, thereby securing the passage for global oil traffic. The Jerusalem Post report emphasizes that the U.S. now commands this key route, though it does not provide details on the operation’s scale or the exact number of mines removed.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway through which about a fifth of global oil passes, making any disruption a matter of international concern. U.S. action here reflects ongoing tensions with Iran and the broader effort to secure global energy supplies.
