obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian)

The US Navy has fully cleared the Strait of Hormuz of mines, reopening the main shipping corridor. President Trump warned Iran that any vessel re-mining the strait would be immediately destroyed. The operation lasted several months, using underwater drones to detect over 100 suspected mines, which were removed or detonated with private companies' help. Trump announced completion on Truth Social, adding US Space Forces monitor the area. Iran had mined the strait during the war, and a summer agreement to remove them collapsed. Over 500 ships used a southern channel recently, with 2% attacked, and the cleared central route now allows two-way traffic.
