With ceasefire talks underway, he appears to be trying to seize the initiative and frame a U.S. military victory as a fait accompli.<\/p>\n<p>On the 11th (local time), Trump posted on his social platform Truth Social that he had \u201cstarted a mine\u2011clearing operation in the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to nations around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He specifically singled out South Korea, China, Japan, France and Germany as beneficiaries, saying, \u201cThese countries have no courage or will to do this themselves,\u201d a swipe at both allies and rivals.<\/p>\n<p>He also criticized U.S. media, accusing some outlets of suffering from so\u2011called \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome\u201d and distorting coverage to suggest Iran is prevailing. \u201cAs everyone knows, Iran is actually suffering a major defeat,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>According to Trump, Iran\u2019s military capabilities have been effectively shattered: its navy and air force eliminated, air\u2011defense networks and key radar systems disabled. He said most missile and drone factories\u2014the central elements of the threat\u2014have been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said all 28 Iranian mine\u2011laying vessels have been sunk. He downplayed the remaining danger, calling mines the only remaining threat but arguing that threat is now limited without the laying ships.<\/p>\n<p>He added that empty tankers from several countries are now en route to the United States to load crude oil, a comment observers read as an effort to underscore U.S. energy dominance and the economic benefits Washington expects amid Middle East instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump announced the start of mine removal in the Hormuz Strait, criticizing allies for lacking courage amid ongoing peace
