Repubblica.it: L’Iran non trova le mine che ha piazzato a Hormuz: ecco perché non è in grado di riaprire lo Stretto

Secondo il New York Times, questo è uno dei motivi per cui Teheran non è stata in grado di conformarsi rapidamente alle richieste dell'amministrazione. Trump: “Stiamo avviando processo di bonifica per gli Alleati, loro non hanno il coraggio”

Iran cannot find the mines it planted in Hormuz: this is why it is unable to reopen the Strait.

According to the New York Times, this is one of the reasons why Tehran was unable to quickly comply with the administration’s demands. Trump: “We are starting a cleansing process for the Allies, they don’t have the courage.”
