Initial Hours of Hormuz Closure and Mines
The article discusses the closing of the Strait of Hormuz at the beginning of the US-Iran war, when the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Major General Ali Reza Tangsiri, issued orders to deploy naval mines within the main international shipping channel. This action escalated the confrontation and threatened global energy movement. Reports indicated that Tangsiri was behind the move to close the strait by planting mines, although there have been no official Iranian confirmations or independent evidence to support this. As a result, commercial shipping was disrupted, and oil prices surged to record levels, jumping from $72 to $126 per barrel within two months. US forces are working to remove the mines and ensure the safe passage of ships through the corridor, with US leadership confirming that more than 200 objects resembling mines have been removed, and the situation has become in their favor despite ongoing security threats in the strait.
