Trump posts on Truth Social:
I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small
boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the
bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait
of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine
“sweepers” are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that
activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your
attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
I’m not sure where that falls under the ceasefire but it’s the kind of thing you might do if you’re thinking about naval escorts rather than peace. Then again, it’s also the kind of thing you might want to accelerate if you were thinking about peace.
