US President Donald Trump challenged Iran in a post and said that we have control over Hormuz. He further added that no ship can enter or exit without the approval of the US Navy.
Earlier in a post, he had said that I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any boat, no matter how small (all 159 of their naval ships are lying on the bottom of the sea!), which is laying mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Iran is having a very difficult time understanding who their leader is! They don’t even know themselves! This battle between “hardliners” who are losing badly on the battlefield and “moderates” who are not liberals at all (are gaining respect!) is extremely strange! We have complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can go in or out without US Navy permission. Unless Iran makes a deal By then, this strait will remain completely closed!”

There should be no hesitation about this. Additionally, our minesweepers (mine “sweepers”) are currently clearing the strait. I hereby order that this work be continued, but now three times faster!
