Iran was preparing to mine the Strait of Hormuz

It has become known that Iran was preparing to mine the Strait of Hormuz. This is reported by Reuters.

Journalists of the agency refer to the received data of the U.S. intelligence.

It is known that Iran, during the military conflict with Israel, loaded sea mines on ships in the Persian Gulf, probably preparing for a blockade.

The mines were loaded onto the ships days after Israel began striking Iran’s nuclear targets.

At that time, the mines were not installed, but now it is not known whether they were returned to their storage locations.

At the same time, the version that such actions of Iran were actually a ploy for the U.S. and the country does not plan to block the Strait of Hormuz is not excluded.

Earlier, The Atlantic wrote that China did not actively support Iran, hinting that blocking the Strait of Hormuz was a bad idea.
