US President Donald Trump on Saturday posted on Truth Social that the American military has begun clearing the conflict-hit Strait of Hormuz and that all of Iran’s minelaying ships have been sunk.
He framed the purported move as a favour to countries, including several US allies, that he said did not have the “courage or will to do this work themselves.”
“We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don’t have the Courage or Will to do this work themselves,” Trump said in the post.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
