Royal Navy Prepares Mine-Clearing Mission for Strait of Hormuz After Peace Deal
The operation would use sea drones and autonomous systems to clear a transit lane for about 700 ships, British officials said.
- Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay in Gibraltar, the Royal Navy prepares for a mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz, pending a peace agreement, with the U.K. destroyer HMS Dragon and allied ships providing support.
- After the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28, Tehran effectively closed the strait, blocking at least 6,000 ships and causing global economic pain through disrupted oil, natural gas, and fertilizer flows.
- Cmdr. Gemma Britton, who leads the Royal Navy's Mine and Threat Exploitation Group, warned that Iran could have a "huge" variety of mines, with priority given to clearing a transit lane for around 700 ships.
- President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a peace deal with Iran is "largely negotiated" but requires finalizing, after previously telling NATO allies to "go get your own oil" and secure the strait themselves.
