Naval Mines Explained | How Iran's Cheap Ammo Could Make Strait Of Hormuz Hell For Ships | VERTEX

Описание: Iran’s potential use of naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz is raising alarm across global markets and security circles. Intelligence sources say Tehran may have already begun placing a limited number of mines in the narrow waterway through which roughly 20 per cent of the world’s oil passes. Even a small number could disrupt shipping, spike oil prices, and threaten global trade. Naval mines are among the cheapest yet most effective weapons at sea, capable of damaging vessels worth millions or billions of dollars. With an estimated stockpile of 2,000 to 5,000 mines and multiple deployment platforms, Iran retains the capacity to escalate quickly if tensions with the United States and Israel deepen.
