[Trump Issues Stern Warning to Iran: Mine-Laying Ships Will Be Destroyed, Space Force Closely Monitors Strait and Nuclear Facilities] Reported by Golden Finance, on August 25, U.S. President Trump posted: I have just received notification from the U.S. Navy that all naval mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared and/or detonated. The United States has informed Iran that any ships or vessels laying new mines will be systematically destroyed immediately. We are monitoring every inch of the strait's waters through the U.S. Space Force, while also keeping an eye on 'Pickaxe Mountain' and three other nuclear facilities that have already been destroyed. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on mine-laying, and this policy is now fully in effect.
