The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) officially announced the successful completion of the sweeping and removal operation of sea mines deployed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces of Iran in the international shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz.
The action represents a strategic milestone for the security of global commercial traffic and energy flow. According to CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper, the clearance operation required months of intensive, high-risk work in international waters, conducted jointly by U.S. Navy divers, elite Navy SEAL teams, and the support of integrated air assets.
The announcement reinforces previous statements made by President Donald Trump, who highlighted the removal and detonation of all explosive devices located in the channel and reiterated the warning that any future attempt to reintroduce threats along the route will face an immediate response.
Operational and Commercial Impact
Vessel Flow: Over the past months of patrols and coordinated escorts, U.S. forces have assisted the safe transit of nearly 1,500 commercial ships, transporting approximately 750 million barrels of crude oil to global markets.
Guarantee of Free Movement: With the internationally recognized routes formally cleared, regular traffic for goods and energy supplies is returning to operational normality in one of the most vital commercial arteries on the planet.
Continuous Surveillance: CENTCOM emphasized that naval and air forces in the region maintain rigorous patrolling and full-time monitoring to ensure the permanent stability of the waterway and curb any new hostile actions.
