Is there any evidence of actual mine-laying? All I saw was Trump’s Truth Social post which started with “if Iran has started laying mines, which we have no reports of”
Actually a good question. A few different news agencies had reported on it with quotes like “Intelligence says/shows” but that doesn’t mean anything to me.
Whose intelligence? Is it US intelligence, if so then that’s probably the most believable simply because I don’t see any benefit for lying about this. They never even tried to sell Americans on the war to begin with, so what justification would they need to do anything else.
If it’s GCC intelligence or Iranian intelligence then obviously there is incentive to lie. If it’s Mossad then it’s probably a lie to keep pressure on the US.
Honestly surprised this wasn’t talked about after day 1, it’s what I would have done if I were defending myself in that situation.

Everything is propaganda.

Don’t expect every lie told by the Pedonald to have a reason
