Investing.com — According to the latest U.S. intelligence assessment revealed by American officials to CBS News, Iran has deployed underwater mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

These officials, speaking anonymously on sensitive national security matters, stated that at least a dozen mines have been placed throughout this critical shipping corridor. The mines are confirmed to be Iranian-made Maham 3 and Maham 7 type moored mines.

Another U.S. official indicated that the number of mines is fewer than a dozen.

This mine deployment comes as the Trump administration urges Tehran to maintain free commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
