"Iran's IRGC has released a navigation map directing vessels to safer routes, emphasizing the likelihood of anti-ship mines in the main traffic zone."
"Even a single mine can compel operators to assume a wider threat, invalidating insurance and effectively shutting down the use of the waterway."
The US military plans to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure safe maritime commerce after Iran's actions threatened the waterway.
