Iran deploys more mines in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has laid more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions in a crucial oil passage. The U.S. Navy has been ordered by President Trump to "shoot and kill" Iranian boats laying mines. This situation could worsen the largest oil supply disruption in history, with significant drops in maritime traffic. The U.S. military is closely monitoring the mine-laying operations and is aware of the number of new mines deployed. The USS George H.W. Bush and its strike group have arrived in the region, enhancing the naval blockade on Iran. U.S. officials are using underwater drones for mine-clearing operations.
