US forces today beginning the process of clearing out mines in the Strait of Hormuz. 
The procedure involves a pair of US Navy guided warships armed with anti-aircraft missiles and in search of sea mines previously planted by Iran's IRGC. 
The commander of CENTCOM, Admiral Brad Cooper, says this will establish a new and safe passage to encourage the free flow of commerce. 
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital shipping lane through which roughly 1/5 of the world's oil passes, but it's been closed since the start of the conflict.

The president adding that they're clearing out the strait as a favor to countries all over the world.
