US Military Issues Hormuz Mine-Clearance Warning North of Musandam Peninsula
β HORMUZ β CENTCOM is moving on the mines while the MOU ink isn't dry. π LOOK CLOSER: A formal mariner/airmen warning signals active US mine-clearance ops β not a threat, an execution. This happens before any Hormuz reopening is viable, but Tehran claims strait governance belongs to Iran and Oman alone. CENTCOM acting unilaterally directly contradicts that position. If Iranian vessels challenge US clearance teams, the "political understanding" collapses into a live incident.
