The dual reality in the Strait of Hormuz
The Sand War continues.
Recently the CENTCOM stated that the meme waterway is clear of Iranian naval mines - about 100 mines were destroyed by US Navy servicemen.
The USA stated that any Iranian ship trying to lay new sea mines will be immediately destroyed.
The IRGC refused to confirm the US claims. The IRGC stated however that the strait is closed until the US completely lifts the naval blockade of Iranian ports and pays war reparations.
Iran has previously denied that it laid mines. The US intelligence insists that the IRGC did lay the mines quite hastily, using small vessels - thus Iran lacks precise data on the location of all the mines, making it impossible to confirm complete clearance.
In conclusion - the shipping companies currently hear 2 completely opposite statements about the Strait of Hormuz. The USA says it's clear and safe. Iran insists that no-one is allowed until they finish talks with Oman about details.
