Trump claims Strait of Hormuz mine clearance; Rubio signals no pre-election Iran strike

President Trump asserts that U.S. naval operations have neutralized all mines in the Strait of Hormuz, while Senator Marco Rubio indicates that military action against Iran is off the table until after the November elections. The claim regarding the total clearance of mines remains unverified by independent naval authorities, and the strategic implications of these statements suggest a temporary de-escalation in regional maritime tensions.
