President Trump ordering US Navy ships to fire on Iranian patrol boats in Persian Gulf
A US war with Iran on the agenda again?
That idea was effectively shelved last year when Trump was persuaded a US retaliation against Iran-after accusing them being behind the Yemini Houthi's missile attack on Saudi Arabian oil facilities last September-could force Iran to mine the Strait of Hormuz thus preventing oil tankers from traversing the Strait before entering the open sea.
