Reports have emerged of potential sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that has been facing disruptions since the beginning of the Iran-US war. According to news agency AP, semi-official Iranian news agencies released charts suggesting the country's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard put sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz during the war.
The charts, published by ISNA and Tasnim, showed a marked zone over the Traffic Separation Scheme, the route commonly used by ships passing through the strait. They displayed a large circle labeled “danger zone” in Farsi over the Traffic Separation Scheme.
US President Donald Trump said American forces would remain deployed near Iran, and that the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE. Strikes continue after the ceasefire announcement, with drones and missiles reported to have struck Iran and Gulf Arab countries.
