From Iran International's liveblog, April 12:
US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would “take a little while,” adding that it “won’t take long to clean out the strait.”
He added that the United States was bringing in additional minesweepers and said other countries, including Britain, were also sending sending minesweepers.
Trump also said NATO now wants to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
“We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this,” he added.
