U.S. Central Command forces began preparing to clear sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Two U.S. Navy destroyers, the USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy, moved through the area and carried out operations in the Arabian Gulf as part of a mission to make sure the strait is completely clear of mines previously placed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Earlier today President Trump announced that the US has started the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz and that oil ships were headed the the US.
