Two U.S. Navy destroyers had transited the Strait of Hormuz to begin mine-clearing operations in the vital waterway, U.S. Central Command said Saturday.

The destroyers crossed through the Strait and operated in the Arabian Gulf, CENTCOM said on social media. Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will "join the clearance effort in the coming days," CENTCOM said.

And Joe Biden is as sharp as ever, huh.

For the ignorant, Iran is charging a dollar per barrel of crude or a lump sum of $2 million as a toll to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

But Iran isn't accepting dollars. They are only accepting yuan or bitcoin.

So on top of every other fuckup, Trump is undermining the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

"Biden is not the sharpest bulb."

Actual quote by your stable genius.

And how did Biden come into this, BDS boi?

Navy destroyers are not the best minesweepers.

Guess what Dear Leader did when he took office last year.

He decommissioned all four of the US Navy's minesweepers in the region.

Just when you think Trump is a fuckup in every way possible, he finds whole new failures to achieve.

There really has been no one more incompetent in the White House in the history of the United States.

Trump cannot force ships to go throught the strait. He can clear it, then it is up to them.

Your Mullah buddy's need to realize that Trump's very generous ceasefire is for two weeks only. It is to give those insane theocratic fascists a chance to save themselves from being wiped out just like their predecessors were so recently. I'm half hoping they don't so Trump can clean up Iran before a democrat or "not democrat" manages to vote harvest his way into the West Wing.

But if the Mullah's do agree to stop harassing shipping, that doesn't mean that ship owners will believe them and send ships through. That's not our problem.

Navy destroyers are not minesweepers.

Then there must not have been many mines there, since they got through without a scratch.

Another Derangement rant.

Iran has admitted they lost track of where all the mines are. They were placed by small boats and they did not chart them well.

That is probably why the US Navy has had to step in, so that in the eventuality of Iran reopening the strait, it will be cleared.

But the strait is still closed to anyone who won't pay Iran the toll fee.

We are looking for mines. Every Iranian mine laying ship is at the bottom of the Strait.

Iran isn't going to open the Strait. Iran isn't going to open anything except for a can of Whoop Ass.
