Tensions Rise in Strait of Hormuz: The Strait of Hormuz has become the centre of a dangerous U.S.-Iran standoff. AP reported that President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” Iranian small boats deploying mines in the waterway. Trump also said he would not use a nuclear weapon against Iran. The crisis is alarming because the strait handles a major share of global energy trade.  

Trump Issues Direct Military Order

According to AP, Trump said he ordered the U.S. Navy to shoot and kill small Iranian boats putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz and said U.S. minesweepers were already clearing the strait. He also ordered the activity to continue at a “tripled up level.”

Diplomacy Remains Uncertain

Talks involving the U.S. and Iran remain uncertain, with both sides blaming each other for deadlock. The White House wants Tehran to reopen the strait, while Iran wants the U.S. blockade lifted.
