    The United States military announced that it has begun the process of "preparing conditions" for the clearance of naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with two of its ships passing through this strategic passage.

    U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, announced on Saturday, April 22, that the ships "USS Frank Peterson" and "USS Michael Murphy" have passed through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a broader mission to ensure the complete clearance of the strait from mines laid by the Revolutionary Guard.

    Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, stated: "Today we initiated the process of creating a new passage, and soon we will make this safe route available to the shipping industry to encourage the free flow of trade."

    Before CENTCOM's announcement, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, also stated that the U.S. has "sunk all 28 Iranian mine-laying boats" and announced that the U.S. military has begun the process of clearing the Strait of Hormuz.

    Axios reporter also quoted a senior U.S. official saying that this action was taken without coordination with Iran and that it is the first time since the start of the war that U.S. ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz.

    The Wall Street Journal reported, citing three American officials, that two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. This is the first passage of U.S. warships through this waterway since the start of the war.

    According to the report, no issues were recorded during this passage, and the action was described as a mission for freedom of navigation. The officials stated that the destroyers were not escorting commercial vessels.

    This action coincided with the meeting of U.S. and Islamic Republic negotiating teams in Pakistan to discuss ending the war. Donald Trump emphasized that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz should be part of the ceasefire agreement.

    Marco Rubio, Trump's Secretary of State, announced the cancellation of the residency of family members and affiliates of the Islamic regime in the U.S. regarding a case related to Masoumeh Ebtekar's family, revealing information about the hostage-takers of the U.S. embassy. Rubio described Ebtekar as a "screaming Mary" who was the spokesperson for the student occupiers during the U.S. embassy takeover in Tehran in 1979; an act that led to the hostage-taking of 52 American diplomats for 444 days "while they were subjected to beatings, starvation, and mock executions."
    Trump's Secretary of State stated that this week, the permanent residency status of Masoumeh Ebtekar's son, her husband, and their child has been revoked, and they are currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) awaiting deportation from the United States.
    He wrote: "This week, I revoked their legal permanent residency status, and today, Seyed Eisa Hashemi, Maryam Tameskabi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and awaiting deportation from our country."
    Rubio also announced that in 2014, the Barack Obama administration issued a visa for Ebtekar's son and his family to enter the U.S., and in 2016, they received permanent residency through the Diversity Visa Program. "In 2014, the Obama administration issued a visa for her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama administration granted them legal permanent residency through the immigration lottery program." Rubio emphasized at the end of this message that, according to him, Ebtekar's family should not have benefited from the "privilege of living in America," adding: "America should never become a home for anti-American terrorists or their families."
    Following protests from Iranians residing in the U.S., the residency of Ali Larijani's daughter and her husband, as well as the daughter and granddaughter of Qassem Soleimani's sister, had also been revoked.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said regarding negotiations with the Islamic Republic in Pakistan that he believes a good agreement is one where the Islamic Republic has no nuclear weapons. He added that he thinks regime change has effectively already happened, although we never had it as a criterion.

    Mr. Trump stated that 99% of a good agreement includes the issue of not having nuclear weapons.

    Mr. Trump continued, "We will find out what is happening. They have failed militarily, and now we intend to open the [Strait]... You have a good team, and they will meet tomorrow. We will see what ultimately happens."

    A journalist asked: "You won't allow them to charge tolls for passing through the strait, right?" The President of the United States replied, "No, we won't allow that. This is an international waterway. If they do such a thing, we will not allow it to continue."

    The President of the United States added: "The Strait of Hormuz will automatically be opened; if it doesn't open, the Islamic Republic will have no income. We do not use the strait; other countries do, and they will come and help open the Strait of Hormuz. We will open the strait soon."
