> US President Donald Trump said the US Navy had removed or detonated all mines in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz and warned that any vessel laying new mines would be destroyed under a zero-tolerance policy. Maritime traffic remains severely disrupted amid a volatile US-Iran standoff, while Iran has conveyed conditions through Pakistan and discussed a temporary shipping corridor and joint demining project with Oman.
