Report: US military carried out secret operation to remove Strait of Hormuz mines
According to a Firstpost report, American special forces dedicated four months to a clandestine operation aimed at clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz to restore passage. This mission was launched following Iran's assertions that it had deployed mines in the area during a period of heightened tensions with the United States. During the operation, Navy SEALs utilized robotic technology and specialized underwater gear to identify potential Iranian mines, frequently conducting these efforts under the cover of darkness.
