SS: Very first actual report from Reuters saying Iran have deployed “about a dozen of mines” in Strait of Hormuz. Before there were only reports of Iran attempting to mine the waters but this is the first confirmation achieving it from Reuters.

Well.. That’s just great. Perhaps we should have been anticipating this action from Iran that’s been foreshadowed by 100s of white papers written since the 70s?
At this point, it’s pretty clear that Iran’s new leadership has no interest in deescalation. Absent that, Trump’s stuck in a geopolitical trap and oil prices are going to continue to increase for the indefinite future.

Don’t Iranians have KILO class submarines? — They can deploy naval mines.

What about those Chinese tankers using the strait? Are the mines anchored to the bottom then? In that case the Chinese Captains should know where they are

Amazing how after all the winning the SECWAR claimed, they still have the means to move unopposed and lay mines, which I assume isnt a very fast operation.
