Reuters, quoting sources: the Iranian army was preparing to plant mines in the Garmouz Strait.

Two officials who asked not to publish their names said that these drugs, which were not previously reported, which were discovered by American intelligence, occurred after the Israeli period on the first missile attack on Iran occurred on June 13.

Two officials said that the US government does not exclude the possibility that the loading of the mines will be cunning, adding that the Iranians could prepare mines to convince Washington to seriously close the strait, but without the intention to do it.

Perhaps the Iranian army simply made the necessary preparations if Iran’s leaders were issued, according to the same sources.

Sources did not show how the United States would definitely put mines on Iranian ships, but such information is usually collected using satellite images, secret human sources or a mixture of two methods.

When he was asked to comment on the training of Iran, the White House official said: “Thanks to the great implementation of the president of the“ midnight hammer ”, a successful campaign against the Hussites and the campaign for the maximum pressure, the grocery spill remained open, and the freedom of navigation was restored, and Iran was largely weakened.”

On the other hand, the Pentagon did not respond to a request about the comments, and the Iranian mission in the United Nations did not respond to the suspension requests.

Reuters said that he could not determine when Tehran loaded mines specifically during the air war between Israel and Iran, which was published, the ships would effectively stop moving along the main road.

It is also unclear whether the mines have been devastated since then.

It is worth noting that at twenty seconds of June, shortly after the United States bombed the three main Iranian nuclear facilities in an attempt to paralyze Tehran’s nuclear program, the Iranian parliament supported the strait closure procedure.

The Iranian channel “Press -Telekanal” said that this decision is not mandatory, and that the final decision on the closure belongs to the Supreme Council of Iranian National Security.

For many years, Iran threatened to close the strait, but it has never been realized.

This, and the loading of mines, which were not published in the strait, indicates that Tehran may have seriously related to the closure of one of the most crowded shipping corridors in the world, which was to aggravate the actual escalation of conflicts and strictly disability of global trade.

It is important to note that about five global oil and gas supplies pass through Gormuz the Strait, and its closure will probably lead to a sharp increase in world energy prices, but the standard international oil prices instead decreased by more than 10%, since Iranian nuclear risks were partially due to relief, since the conflict did not cause significant violations in the oil trade.

By 2019, Iran retained more than 5,000 sea mines that could quickly spread with small boats with high speeds, according to the US protection agency at that time.

Reuters indicated that the fifth American fleet located in Bahrain is accused of protecting trade in the region, and the US Navy usually stores four mines (MCM) ships in Bahrain, but these ships are replaced by another type of ships called coastal warships (LCS), and they are also an equation.

She explained that all anti -mini ships were temporarily recalled from Bahrain on days before the American bait against Iran in anticipation of a possible response on the headquarters of the fifth fleet.
