President Trump has directed the U.S. military to shoot and kill Iranian small boats that are laying mines to choke the Strait of Hormuz. This aggressive escalation comes as the U.S. imposes a blockade on Iranian vessels, raising the stakes of the ongoing regional conflict. The move signals a shift from containment to direct kinetic action against perceived threats to global shipping lanes.
