Trump Warns Iran of 'Unprecedented Consequences' Over Strait of Hormuz Mines

• President Trump warned Iran of "consequences of a level never seen before" after reports of Tehran laying mines in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
• CNN reported, citing US intelligence, that Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait, a crucial energy checkpoint for 20% of global crude oil.
• Trump demanded immediate removal of any mines, threatening "Military consequences" and stating US technology would eliminate mine-laying boats.
• Trump also claimed the US had "hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships."
• The IRGC, controlling the strait, has warned of attacking ships, leading to channel closure, energy supply choking, and spiking fuel prices since the US-Israel-Iran war began on February 28.
