US Navy conducts covert night de-mining ops in Strait of Hormuz

US Navy divers, boats, and robots conducted covert night-time missions to dispose of explosives in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint. The operation signals an active threat to shipping and a US military response to potential mining, though details on the source of the mines and extent of the operation remain unclear. This marks a significant escalation in securing the strait amid heightened regional tensions.
