Navy SEALs spent four months clearing Iran's mines from Hormuz, diving at night to strap charges onto them BY HAND

The covert operation ran mostly after dark.

SEAL divers worked alongside the Navy's Common Uncrewed Surface Vessel, a drone boat that tows sonar-equipped submersibles like the MK 18 Mod 2 Kingfish to scan the seabed and find the mines.

Once a mine was located and the area cleared, a diver went into the water, approached it, fixed a charge to it and destroyed it, or a robot drone did the same where it was safer but slower.

They cleared roughly 80 mines the IMO had counted in June, across four months, with no American casualties, which for work this dangerous is its own achievement.

Credit the sailors who pulled this off.

The dark truth is how fast Iran adapts around them.

Last week it fired rockets rigged to drop sea mines from shore, a delivery method that seeds the water in an afternoon without exposing a single boat to the Navy, and its military claimed two tanker hits in the same stretch.

The SEALs cleared the lane the hard way. Iran keeps inventing cheaper faster ways to fill it back in.

I wonder what the Iranian mines are using for detection to detonate. It's obviously not impact since they're dropped from a rocket.
Magnetic field?

---

This is one of those scenarios where Iran spend a couple thousand dollars to lay a mine and the US then spends 10s of millions to remove it.... but your Boomer mind either cant comprehend or just doesnt care about the $40 trillion in debt you've racked up

Sorry, but analysis from someone who can't see the forest for all the Jews inside his imagination isn't something I'm seriously interested in. Move along and play in your ancient sandbox.

The scale of tonight's Iranian ballistic missile against the U.S. military base in Jordan says a lot.

It's the largest attack since the Pakistan-brokered 2-week ceasefire was signed in April.

The use of cluster munitions tonight also drives home the fact that Iran isn't concerned about coming across as too bellicose after tonight's attacks.

More can be expected tonight, particularly in regard to Iran attacks against both military and civilian cargo vessels in the Hormuz Strait.

The likelihood of escalation after tonight's exchange of fire is higher than it has ever been following the April ceasefire

How much does an average Iranian tanker cost, I wonder?

Gemini says an average tanker is 50-145 million dollars. So I wonder what one would cost for Iran to buy or build.

Iran can't keep absorbing economic hits and still get stuff to build whatever weapons they want. They have to pay someone for them.

No one will subsidize them as much as it would take. They are already getting help, but not in terms of paying creditors and the IRGC and the regular military and the factory workers and the military support civilians and the farmers.
