U.S. Military Commences Mine Clearing in Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. military has initiated operations to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil shipments. This action follows a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, aiming to ensure safe passage for vessels. While the U.S. military stated its warships had transited the strait and conditions were being set for mine removal, Iran's state media denied any U.S. ships had entered the waterway.
