#伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡布设水雷 Iran is indeed beginning to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the number of mines laid is still small (a few dozen), but Iran still has the capability to deploy hundreds or even thousands. Iran has retained 80%-90% of its small boats and minelaying vessels, allowing for rapid mine-laying operations. The types of mines include drifting mines, bottom mines, moored mines, and smart mines, with bottom mines and moored mines being difficult to detect and posing significant threats to commercial ships and vessels, requiring specialized mine-clearing equipment for removal.

Trump has threatened that if Iran does not immediately clear the mines, it will face "unprecedented military consequences." Although the U.S. has destroyed some of Iran's minelaying vessels, mine-clearing remains difficult, and Iran may continue to lay mines. This action could lead to a disruption of global oil shipping supplies, increased oil price volatility, and trigger economic chain reactions.
