'Axios: Iran may have placed more mines in Hormuz'

 Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) deployed more mines in the Strait of Hormuz this week, Axios reported on Thursday, citing a US official and another source familiar with the matter.

According to the report, US President Donald Trump instructed the US Navy to "shoot and kill" any Iranian boat putting mines in the strait after being briefed on the IRGC's activity.

The source added that the US military detected the Iranian operation in the critical maritime way and has been keeping a close eye on it. The military knows how many new mines Iran placed, the US official claimed, without revealing the exact number.
