U.S. Army Clears Iranian Mines in Strait of Hormuz
The U.S. Central Command confirmed the success of American forces in clearing the shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz from mines planted by Iran, after three months of challenging and dangerous operations. Admiral Brad Cooper explained that U.S. forces removed more than 200 aquatic objects, including 11 active mines, which facilitated the passage of hundreds of ships carrying millions of barrels of oil and secured the flow of global energy supplies. The operations also helped reduce Iran’s ability to accurately target vessels in the strait and imposed an effective blockade on maritime threats, while continuing to support commercial shipping and expanding the waterways to allow 50 ships to pass at night by September.
