Hormuz Blockade | US Prepares Mine-Clearing Ops in Hormuz Amid Rising Tensions
The United States is preparing a full-spectrum mine countermeasure operation in the Strait of Hormuz, deploying destroyers, helicopters, and unmanned underwater vehicles to detect and neutralise mines. The move follows failed peace talks with Iran, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown. Donald Trump has taken a hardline stance, stating that Iran will not be allowed nuclear weapons and signalling readiness for further action, including possible limited strikes.
