U.S. President Donald Trump said on August 10 that the United States had completed mine-clearing across the entire Strait of Hormuz and that the U.S. Navy now has "100%" control of the key waterway. According to Sina Finance, Trump also said the strait is now open, while Iran may still occasionally lay mines that U.S. forces will remove.

He also repeated that, after Iran demanded compensation from the United States over the military conflict, he would seek compensation from Iran as well. The remarks matched a post he made on social media a few hours earlier, and Iran had previously said it would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz unless the United States met a series of conditions, including compensation.
