I don't understand why Trump doesn't simply mine the strait of Hormuz, and make a simple statement - "no ships get through unless all ships get through". Sure, it would disrupt the world oil supply, but seems hard for Iran to counter.

Because as the article explains the US ships cannot even approach the straits due to the threat of anti-ship missiles.
