'Ops preparation TRIPLED UP': Trump orders direct action as Hormuz crisis explodes | Iran War
US President Donald Trump orders the U.S. military to 'shoot and kill' any small Iranian boats deploying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes. According to Trump, U.S. Navy operations are already underway, with minesweepers actively clearing the strait and military activity ramped up 'at a tripled level.' The move comes just hours after U.S. forces seized an oil tanker allegedly linked to Iranian smuggling, further intensifying tensions with Tehran.
