Trump Clears Iranian Mines, Diplomats Meet in Pakistan

President Trump announced this weekend that the U.S. Navy is clearing Iranian mines from

the Strait of Hormuz to get this key shipping lane back open.

The strait handles most Persian Gulf oil, and right now it's close to nearly all vessels,

putting real pressure on the world economy.

Iran has only hinted at the chance of mines and old routes from before the conflict, but

no one's confirmed any actual deployments yet.

Meanwhile, Trump is dispatching envoy Steve Whitkov and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for another

round of ceasefire talks with Iran as the White House.

Reveal Friday, though their exact arrival in Islamabad remains unclear.

Vice President J.D. Vance is sitting those out.

On Saturday, April 25th, top Pakistani and Iranian officials also held a meeting, signaling

these diplomatic pushes are heating up across the D region.

I'm Cory with the story.
