President Donald Trump threatened Iran with “military consequences” at “a level never seen before” if the country failed to immediately remove any mines it might have deployed in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a post on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon, Trump said that his Administration had “no reports” of Iran having placed mines in the strait––a narrow passage between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman through which around a fifth of global oil production flows––but demanded that if it had, “we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY!”
“If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before,” the President continued. “If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction!”
