Trump said today: "If Iran has laid any mines in the Strait of Hormuz (although we have not received any reports about this so far), we demand immediate removal! If, for any reason, Iran has indeed laid mines and failed to remove them immediately, Iran will face unprecedented military consequences. Conversely, if they remove any mines that may have been laid, it would be a major step in the right direction! In addition, we are using the same technology and missile capabilities used to combat drug trafficking to completely destroy any vessels attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. We will deal with them swiftly and severely. Be vigilant! I am pleased to report that in the past few hours, we have struck and completely destroyed 10 abandoned mine-laying boats and/or ships, and more mine-laying vessels will be destroyed soon!" President Donald J. Trump
Comment: This war was initiated by the United States, with continuous bombing of Iranian territory, causing massive civilian casualties, directly leading to the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and plunging global energy and shipping into crisis. The United States is forcefully manufacturing warfare with hegemonic power, pushing the Middle East into disaster, dragging the world into turmoil, threatening the safety of global energy channels, but then turning around to blame Iran. The United States must bear corresponding responsibility for the turbulence in the strait.
