„WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said on Saturday that two of its warships sailed through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a plan to start removing mines from the vital conduit for the global oil trade.
Sending the ships through the strait was aimed at „setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz,“ U.S Central Command posted on X.“

Imagine the most powerful naval force in the world seeing this as a big thing.

Commercial shipping ain’t going through there anytime soon

Are they actually going to pull an attack in the middle of negotiations for the third time? Would be quite something.

Iran is saying they were threatened with a 30-minute warning, and then chased off after a drone was sent their way.
Both sides heavily propagandize their communications and are happy to lie to support a narrative, so we probably won’t know which version is actually true anytime soon.

It’s not about the world’s most heavily armed and most capable warships transiting the straight.
It’s about civilian crewed non armored no defense bulk freighter transiting the straight.
This is honestly embarrassing. We cant provide escorts for a convoy with any confidence or we would have done so before now.

I don’t think these ships have mine sweeping capabilities?

It seems at this point if the ships did cross the strait its because Iran let it happen.

Sounds like ceasefire is only being used as a pause to reload and move more troops into the region without being fired at?

I’m glad the situation is stabilizing. My only fear is that people are going to forgot how insane this was, just like how they seem to have forgotten Trump’s other insane behavior (January 6, global tariffs, threatening to invade Greenland/Canada, Muslim ban, Epstein files, etc.).
