Navy SEALs in Hormuz, four-month secret mission against Iranian mines revealed

The United States Navy conducted a secret four-month operation to demine the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil transport corridors in the world.

The operation involved elite Navy SEAL divers, supported by robotic vehicles, unmanned submarines and advanced sonar systems. Most of the missions were carried out at night.

According to reports, initially the unmanned systems would locate mines on the seabed. Then, in some cases, divers had to approach the explosives and place charges to destroy them.

"Usually you then need a Navy diver to go into the water, approach the mine, place a charge on it and destroy it," former US Navy captain Bill Hamblet explained to the Financial Times.

Unmanned surface vehicles and underwater systems equipped with sonar, capable of scanning the seabed, were also used to locate mines.

Despite the risk of the operation, no American casualties were reported.

The International Maritime Organization estimated in June that about 80 mines had been placed along the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route for global energy transport.

President Donald Trump declared in August that the mines had been removed from the strait.

However, questions remain about the complete safety of the sea route, especially due to the possibility of new mines being laid.

Shipping companies and maritime experts estimate that areas near the Omani coast, where ships are escorted by US forces, are likely to have been cleared, but there is less certainty for the rest of the strait.

The threat from mines, along with missile and drone attacks, has meant that visible maritime traffic in Hormuz remains at low levels.
