🗞️ In-depth summary

US Navy SEALs conducted a covert four-month mission to clear Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Financial Times report. The operation, which involved divers, unmanned vessels, and robots, aimed to make the waterway safer for commercial shipping after Iran reportedly deployed approximately 80 mines following the outbreak of war. US President Donald Trump announced last week that "all mines" in international waters had been removed, a claim confirmed by the US military. However, experts and shipping companies remain uncertain if the entire strait is mine-free, with concerns that Iran could redeploy mines. Retired US Navy captain Bill Hamblet stated, "The Iranians have realized that their strongest card is the perception that they control the Strait of Hormuz."
