Iran has been unable to open the Strait of Hormuz to more shipping traffic because it cannot locate all of the mines it laid in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, according to U.S. officials.
The development is one reason Iran has not been able to quickly comply with the Trump administration’s admonitions to let more traffic pass through the strait. It is also potentially a complicating factor as Iranian negotiators and a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance meet in Pakistan this weekend for peace talks.

This is why mines of all kinds is frowned upon.

More cover up by dementia Donnie. Just when one of Melanie’s oldest friend a victim of epstein announced that she will reveal the truth about everyone involved.

Iran: oh no… We can’t find them… Guess it stays closed, such a shame. If only our friends in Lebanon weren’t under attack, they could help us find them… *Wink*
Maybe if someone honoured the cease fire we could open it back up *wink*
Look you’re a dumbass so we’re dropping the pretense, tell Israel to stop being the way that they are and stop fighting. No Hormuz for you.

Lets Iran keep the economic pressure on while being technically compliant enough to not get bombed.

So Iran can’t find them but they have been allowing certain ships through the straight or will allow any ship at $2mil per? Can you imagine paying $2mil for passage and then losing your full $150mil to 200mil tanker to a mine?

This statement has been released so that us can claim victory despite strait being closed.

I haven’t looked at the news in like 30 minutes, so I’m very behind, but is this just what the trump regime is pushing to avoid admitting Iran is winning this war, or is there legitimacy?

Completely made up information from a source with no knowledge of the situation whatsoever. Good ol NYT.
There isn’t any reason to believe that Iran even tried to remove the mines, so how would anyone know they can’t do it?
gifred on
Are we sure there are mines ?
bareboneschicken on
You need zero mines to create a minefield…just a single press release will do the job just fine.
lovelessisbetter on
lol. They’re so out of cope and propaganda they’re now hoping to assume that we’ll believe Iran has agreed to open the strait, but a pity, they can’t find the mines. This shit IS Monty Python in geopolitical theater.
