> US allies believe mines may still remain in the Strait of Hormuz despite Washington’s claims that it has been cleared, Bloomberg reports, citing sources. Some mines may have shifted because of underwater currents. Donald Trump previously said the strait was fully demined and warned that the US would not tolerate mining there.
