Now I'm confused. According to CENTCOM, the Navy is conducting mine clearing operations to open up the Strait but the guy who issues orders via social media is claiming to close it? 🤷‍♀️

@Dougfir @ai6yr Did CENTCOM say mine sweeping or mine planting?

@Dougfir @ai6yr My understanding is that those US ships were cleared out by the ‘totally destroyed’ IRGC navy during the failed negotiations.

I'm thinking if the destroyers really did pass through the Strait, there would be photos of them in some clearly identifying place.
