Landmines obstruct Hamroz passage
The main passage through the Strait of Hormuz has been closed due to the presence of around 80 naval mines, leading to shifts in the routes of commercial ships and oil tankers via two alternative pathways in Iranian and Omani waters. The strait is one of the most vital maritime corridors for the transportation of oil and gas. Since February 2026, tensions between the United States and Iran have caused unprecedented disruptions in shipping activity, with a sharp decline driven by security concerns and mine-laying activities. Maritime traffic continues through two fully open alternative routes, amid calls for the reopening of the strait without conditions.
