The media reported that the United States has no evidence of Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

In three months of search operations, the US military has not received confirmed evidence that Iran has placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz, despite earlier intelligence reports and public statements by the American authorities. This was reported by the Turkiye Today newspaper on May 30.

"The ongoing search efforts have not yielded concrete results that would confirm previous reports of dozens of mines that could have been placed," one U.S. official said.

Underwater drones, robotic systems, as well as manned and unmanned aircraft were used to survey the water area, the article notes. During the operations, objects that could turn out to be mines were discovered, but none of them were definitively identified.

The US Central Command said the country's efforts to ensure the complete clearance of the Strait of Hormuz from naval mines laid by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are continuing.

What is the greatest threat in the strait and how long does it take to open it?

US President Donald Trump said yesterday that ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz due to the American naval blockade can return home, as restrictions have been lifted.

Trump said on that day that he would make a final decision today at a meeting with his aides on whether to approve the agreed deal with Iran. According to him, Iran should confirm that it will never have nuclear weapons or bombs, and the Strait of Hormuz should be open for free navigation without duties in both directions.
