US EditionChart shows Iran may have put sea mines in Strait of Hormuz
The chart warns commercial vessels to avoid a danger zone and take alternate routes as uncertainty grows over the ceasefire, officials said.
- On Thursday, Iranian semiofficial news agencies published a chart suggesting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps placed sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, marking a "danger zone" and urging commercial vessels to take alternative routes northward.
- This navigational notice follows a fragile two-week ceasefire that appears to be fraying, as Iran and the U.S. disagree over whether the deal covers Israeli military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
- The IRGC's map highlights a "danger zone" over the Traffic Separation Scheme, advising ships to navigate farther north near Larak Island, though it remains unclear whether the Guard has cleared any mines since February.
- Benchmark U.S. crude rose to above $97 per barrel on Thursday, while only four vessels transited the strait Wednesday, reflecting heightened caution among commercial shippers despite the ceasefire.
- President Donald Trump insists U.S. forces will remain near Iran until the agreement is fully complied with, while diplomatic delegations prepare to meet Saturday in Islamabad to salvage the fragile truce.
