US Navy SEALs Conducted Secret Four-Month Demining Operation in Strait of Hormuz

The United States conducted a covert four-month operation to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, deploying Navy SEAL divers, robotic boats, and specialized underwater craft mostly at night, according to the Financial Times. The mission aimed to reopen the critical oil route after Iran claimed to have laid mines following US-Israeli strikes in February. While President Trump declared all mines removed, shipping experts remain cautious about the waterway's safety due to the risk of re-mining and ongoing missile threats.

"U.S. Discovers Iran Missile Parts for Yemen's Houthis, Linked to Navy SEALs"

A team of Navy SEALs searching a small boat off the coast of Somalia found Iranian missile parts bound for Houthi rebels in Yemen after losing two sailors overboard. The U.S. military is conducting a search and rescue mission in the Gulf of Aden for the missing sailors. The seized missile components included propulsion, guidance, and warheads for medium-ranged ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles, which were the same type of weapons used by the Houthis to attack international shipping in the Red Sea. The U.S. and its allies have started an international mission to protect the vital maritime artery, and the SEALs' search was part of the broader practice to apprehend dhows ferrying Iranian weapons to the Houthis.
