Covert SEAL Mine-Clearing Push Aims to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz
TL;DR Summary
US special forces reportedly spent four months conducting a covert mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz to reopen the waterway for commercial vessels. Navy SEAL divers, unmanned vessels, and underwater sensors were used to locate and remove mines allegedly placed by Iran, with the operation described as part of broader tensions around the strait. Trump claimed all mines in international waters were removed, but experts say gaps may remain, and re-mining remains a risk; there were no reported US casualties.
