The United States will start clearing the Strait of Hormuz of Iranian mines as a favor to countries that "do not have courage" to do it themselves, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday.

"We're now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don't have Courage or Will to do this work themselves," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Earlier on Saturday, Trump announced the beginning of the talks in Islamabad. He also said that he did not care whether the talks would go well or not, as he was prepared to continue military action against the country.
