The American showdown with Iranian mine-layers

Six months after the start of U.S. attacks on Iran, tensions have risen again this week. American forces attacked Iranian mine-laying operations aimed at disrupting maritime traffic on the world's most important oil route. Tehran confirmed casualties among both military personnel and civilians and warned of retaliatory action. On Sunday, U.S. forces attacked an installation in Jordan, though most of the mines were intercepted by defenders. Last week, the U.S. Central Command stated that all mines had been removed and destroyed from international waters in the Persian Gulf. Iran was warned that any attempt to lay new mines would be prevented, while Republican President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would monitor developments from space. Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. forces in the region, stated that international shipping lanes remain open, and the U.S. Navy has been monitoring numerous ships through the Strait of Hormuz in recent weeks.
