Iran develops rocket-launched sea mines
The article focused on the possibility that Iran is developing a new method of deploying naval mines by launching them from land-based missiles, which is unconventional for mine deployment in waters. This approach aims to cause disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. American analyses further suggest that Iran may have added a new type of mine to its arsenal, which is launched via Fajr-5 missiles and consists of small mines that could cause minor damage to ships, especially small boats. These developments come amid escalating tensions, following American airstrikes targeting missile launch platforms, and Iran's response by firing ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan and the UAE. There are also ongoing threats to use mines to threaten navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital gateway for global oil transportation.
