US effort to clear Hormuz mines
The removal of mines from the Strait of Hormuz by American forces is considered a significant achievement in ensuring freedom of international navigation. They were able to clear the sea passages of mines planted by Iran, allowing ongoing maritime traffic and the passage of approximately 1,500 ships carrying around 750 million barrels of oil in recent months. U.S. Central Command confirmed that internationally recognized routes are free of mines, despite internal assessments indicating that between 80 and 150 mines still remain in the strait, and that only Iran knows their exact locations. The operation aimed to reduce the threat posed by mines and to stabilize navigation, amid ongoing maritime sanctions imposed on Iran. Meanwhile, Tehran claims it knows the locations of the mines and has been called upon to jointly manage the strait in a cooperative effort to remove the mines.
