President Donald Trump announced that he has given orders to the United States Navy to eliminate any Iranian vessels that they catch trying to drop more mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
The president posted on Truth Social Thursday, “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.”
Trump emphasized, “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.”
The Iranian regime dropped as many mines in the strait as they could during the active phase of the joint Israeli-U.S. Operation Epic Fury/Roaring Lion. After the ceasefire announcement and the initial Iranian violations by bombing other countries, the murderous mullahs also absolutely refused to remove mines from the strait but demanded tolls from any countries that sent ships through anyway.
Furthermore, on April 23, Trump posted, “Iran is having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is! They just don’t know! The infighting is between the ‘Hardliners,’ who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates,’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY! We have total control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy. It is ‘Sealed up Tight,’ until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

It is not clear to whom Trump referred as “moderates,” because all the leaders of the Iranian regime still in power are part of the world’s worst terrorist regime that has been attacking Americans for nearly half a century. Tens of thousands of Persian freedom protesters remain in prison, many scheduled for execution.

Speaking of hardliners, one of the main Iranian leaders supposed to be negotiating with the United States, with whom Vice President JD Vance met in Pakistan, just went on Arab language television to smirk, boast, and defy the U.S. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer “Death to America” Ghalibaf (or Qalibaf) needs to go back on the elimination list, because he is making it perfectly clear he has no intention of ever making peace with the “great Satan” America and the “little Satan” Israel.
"I, as a soldier, am fighting in the realm of negotiations," Qalibaf smirked. “In this situation, negotiations constitute a form of fighting. I ask our dear people to unite around the three fighting arenas, which, in fact, constitute one battlefield — raising the flag of victory and making our people's gains official.” He claimed that Americans removing Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz were a "violation of the ceasefire."
While the Navy is taking out Iranian mine ships, perhaps the U.S. Army and Air Force need to go back to eliminating Iranian leaders and military targets within that nation. The only form of negotiations that terrorists understand involves missiles and guns.
