The Iranian embassy paired the message with a 35-second animated video showing a 3D map of the Strait of Hormuz with a game of Minesweeper being played over it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The post came after US President Donald Trump said US forces had removed Iran-laid mines from the Strait of Hormuz and were continuing to move oil tankers through the key shipping route.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>&#8220;We&#8217;ve controlled, and we are controlling the Hormuz Strait. <!-- -->We are bringing lots of boats out every day with millions of barrels of oil. We are, for the most part, doing it without trouble,&#8221; Trump told reporters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>&#8220;They (Iran) were trying to rebuild their radar systems and a missile system and a mine drop. You know, we got rid of all the mines in the Hormuz Strait,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Fighting between the US and Iran has intensified this week after Washington struck Iranian rocket launchers on an island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, saying Tehran was planning to use them to lay mines in the waterway.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>In retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US military targets in Jordan, claiming to have caused \u201cheavy damage\u201d. Jordan\u2019s army, however, said it had intercepted eight missiles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>US forces subsequently struck Iranian military targets in the second attack of the month, while Iran launched retaliatory strikes across the region despite a warning from Trump.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>According to US Central Command, the strikes targeted IRGC \u201cair defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine laying capabilities, and communications sites\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Iranian state media, however, alleged that the US had struck a wedding. \u201cWe\u2019re aware of the reports, which originated from Iranian state media. The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC,\u201d Central Command spokesperson Timothy Hawkins said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The US-Iran war has now crossed the six-month mark, with Trump continuing to cite preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon as his central objective.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/middle-east\/habibi-come-to-iran-tehran-mocks-uncle-sam-with-minesweeper-game-post-over-strait-of-hormuz\/articleshow\/133750259.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video shared by Iranian embassy in Sierra Leone The Iranian embassy in Sierra Leone on Thursday took a dig at the United States, referring to the US as its personified character, \u201cUncle Sam,\u201d and challenging it to \u201ccome to Iran.&#8221;\u201cHabibi (Uncle Sam), come to Iran!\u201d the post read.
