Don’t know about that but it certainly has become apparent that Trump and whiskey leaks Hegseth had no plan for Iran blocking the straits and were caught off guard, what a surprise
They were both warned by our military and intelligence services. Trump blew off the warnings.

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War.​

The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane

Before the U.S. went to war, Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told President Trump that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.

In multiple briefings ahead of the war, Caine had repeatedly warned Trump that Iran could respond to any American attacks by closing the strait, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Trump is said to have responded by arguing that Iran would likely surrender before even having time to shut down the waterway.
 

Two Types of Iranian Mines Detected in Strait of Hormuz​

Reports of Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz have circulated for weeks, but the most detailed signal yet comes from CBS, which now reports that U.S. intelligence has detected at least a dozen advanced mines of two types in the waterway.

U.S. officials who are familiar with the latest intelligence told CBS that there are two types of Iranian mines emplaced in the strait. The first is an update on a familiar but deadly design: the buoyant, moored, high-explosive mine, which floats below the surface waiting for a passing ship. The Iranian variant, known as the Mahan 3, is a 300-kilo mine with acoustic sensors to detect passing ships. According to open-source munitions database Collective Awareness to UXO (CAT-UXO), it can pick up the signature of a nearby vessel from a distance of about 10 feet away. As it is acoustically activated, a nonmagnetic hull can still set it off.

The second device believed to be present in the strait is a 220-kilo bottom mine, the Maham 7, which can be deployed by small craft or helicopters. The device is intended for targeting smaller vessels, like landing craft or patrol ships, and can be installed in waters as shallow as 10 feet of depth (or as deep as 300 feet). Iran has previously offered the Maham 7 for export sale, and has published specifications and images.


Of course; it's not Iran's fault for laying the mines....it's "TRUMP'S FAULT".

And it was the Jews' fault that "they made Hitler kill them."


Iran appreciates the support of the traitorous American left.


What a fucking moron.

Your bloated Messiah started this war and that's what caused the Strait of Hormuz to be shut down and mined.


Would you have preferred to wait until they had nuclear warheads to go with the the long-range missiles they claimed they didn't have?
