Washington — On April 23, U.S. President Donald Trump posted that he had ordered the United States Navy to 'shoot and kill' any boat laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, instructing that there 'be no hesitation' and saying U.S. minesweeper operations were clearing the strait and would be tripled. The posts followed an earlier extension of a ceasefire until Tehran delivers a unified peace proposal; U.S. media accounts the same week noted interdiction of an oil-carrying vessel and escorting of an Iranian tanker in the Indian Ocean. Officials said the United States asserts control over passage through the strait, increasing minesweeper activity and military presence this week.
