Iran ‘LOSES’ Sea Mines, Strait Of Hormuz Stays SHUT | Global Oil Supply In Danger Again From Blasts

Iran admits it cannot fully reopen the critical oil corridor after losing track of sea mines it deployed during recent conflict escalation with the United States and Israel. The Strait of Hormuz—responsible for nearly one-fifth of global oil shipments—remains partially blocked, raising serious conce s for global energy markets and maritime safety. Reports suggest the mines were laid hastily, with some drifting unpredictably, making clearance operations extremely difficult. Despite agreeing to reopen the route after ceasefire talks, Iran has wa ed ships to avoid the area, highlighting the ongoing danger. With global supply chains at risk and geopolitical tensions still high, the crisis could have far-reaching economic and security implications.
