Iran is reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz—Trump threatens to hit back ’20 times harder’

U.S. intelligence reports Iran may be laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, using small vessels carrying two to three mines each. President Trump warned on Truth Social that if mines are present and not removed, the U.S. will respond 20 times harder. He also claimed the strait remains safe, despite U.S. decommissioning mine‑hunting ships.
