[epa] class=\"img_LSize\"> [Herald Economy reporter Jang Yeon-ju] On the 23rd (local time), President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to fire on and sink any vessel that lays mines in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials described the order as a warning directed at Iran over mine threats in the waterway.<\/p>\n<p>On his Truth Social account, Trump wrote, \u201cI have ordered the U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any vessel that places mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz, no matter how small.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cDo not hesitate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed, \u201cDuring military operations against Iran, the United States has sunk 159 Iranian naval vessels; they now lie at the bottom of the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump further ordered U.S. forces to continue mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz and to triple their scope.<\/p>\n<p>Because the strait is narrow and does not require long-range navigation, Iran has relied on fast boats to lay mines and to board or seize vessels.<\/p>\n<p>In that context, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 fast-attack boats have emerged as a key asymmetric capability \u2014 a force multiplier that allows Iran to threaten a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz with relatively small numbers of vessels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump orders the US Navy to sink any ships laying mines in
