The U.S. military announced in a video released on Thursday, September 5, that American forces have cleared naval mines from the Strait of Hormuz and that international shipping routes are open.

Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, emphasized in a video message shared on social media that "today, international shipping lanes are open and traffic is increasing."

Cooper noted regarding the mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz, "The conditions were, you could say, challenging and dangerous. But we got the job done."

Previously, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, had also reported the clearance of mines laid by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the Revolutionary Guard has repeatedly rejected these statements, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked.
