Centcom's claim: the Strait of Hormuz has no mines.
US Central Command:.
We continue our efforts to preserve the sea lanes of the Strait of Hormuz for the movement of commercial ships and to impose maritime sanctions against Iran.
We are trying to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from using land routes and the Caspian Sea to transfer advanced weapons.
The main transit routes in the Strait of Hormuz are still clear of Fars sea mines.
