The US military has been ordered by President Donald Trump to 'shoot and kill' small Iranian boats deploying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement came after the US military seized a Guinea-flagged oil tanker, Majestic X, associated with Iranian oil smuggling in the Indian Ocean. Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard attacked three cargo ships in the strait, capturing two, raising concerns about shipping safety. The US and Iran are at odds over the strait's traffic, with Iran insisting the US end its blockade on Iranian ports and ships. The White House insists it will not take part in talks until Tehran opens the strait to international traffic.
