‘Consequences never seen before’: Trump warns Iran over mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping route

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran to immediately remove any mines that may have been placed in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran would face military consequences “at a level never seen before” if the mines were not removed. Although the U.S. currently has no confirmed reports of mines in the strait, tensions remain high amid the ongoing U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran. The crisis has already disrupted maritime traffic through the key energy corridor, raising concerns about global oil supply and market stability.
