Q: What’s the deal that gets the strait open? Trump: The strait is open. We have ships going through. Q: But the ships that are going through are being babysat by a large military presence. Trump: It’s not very expensive. Q: Just leave them there indefinitely? Trump: The countries that we protected will pay us back any and all costs because without us, they wouldn’t exist. https://t.co/FxhRzmBEXY

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N) says three vessels that attempted an “unauthorized” transit of the Strait of Hormuz “suffered explosions and fires.” The video it released with the statement shows a column of smoke rising from an intense fire in the distance, taken from a moving vessel. The IRGC has attributed similar incidents to naval mines, a claim disputed by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) who says the recognized primary transit routes are clear of all mines. Nearly every incident reported an attack by unknown projectiles, likely drones and missiles. Attacks on shipping in the region continue to escalate, with the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center reporting about 10 incidents since November 1st, including at least two in which a seafarer was killed.
