The U.S. military is using sea drones to help clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines that might be lurking there, in a quiet effort to ease Iran’s stranglehold on the waterway and begin reopening it to commercial shipping.

Iran on Saturday closed the strait again and fired on at least two vessels to protest the American blockade of its ports. Earlier, it said any shippers allowed to cross must use new traffic lanes that swing by Iran’s coast, warning of mines in the main channels of the strait.

The military could do an initial scan for mines relatively quickly in the confines of the strait, military analysts said. After locating the mines, a second wave of sea robots could be sent out to destroy them by using explosives or by setting them off remotely.

“You can get a small channel in that area surveyed in days not weeks using Unmanned Underwater Vehicles,” said Kevin Donegan, a former U.S. Navy vice admiral and former commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet based in the Gulf.

WSJ is not a credible source.

You are not a credible person. Too funny.

Wait a week and see what maga Trump Israeli propaganda in the WSJ turns out to be false and never mentioned again. WSJ is awful quiet about Trump market manipulations announcements.

Wow, are you sure about that? Troll harder.

That's incorrect. Dow Jones is their parent site. At any rate, the WSJ is a Pulitzer Prize winning paper. You can go back to your Mother Jones, Salon, Rolling Stone, MSNBC, TikTok, and of course, all your rando Twitter posters for your "news."

The empire is declining.
We will end up like Canada soon.

Canada was never an empire. Maybe the Romans? Or the Azteks?

Okay, if you want direct comparison, we will be like England after the British empire.

US Navy fired on and seized Iranian-flagged vessel, Trump says

Meanwhile, the White House says US officials are headed to Pakistan for peace talks, though Iran has not publicly confirmed it will send a delegation. • Ship seizure: The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to bypass the US naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman, according to President Donald Trump. This marks the latest escalation in tensions over the region’s waterways, as Tehran maintains its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

No word on the crew. Wonder if Hegseth ordered the crew killed or just threw them over the rail?

It's interesting that you expressed zero concern for the crew of the ships that IRAN fired on, yesterday. Remember them?

Iran has once more closed the Strait of Hormuz, deploying gunboats to deter any tankers trying to cross the chokepoint, the Associated Press reported. So far, two vessels have been struck while others have changed course to avoid the risk of attack.

good to see that the war which isn't a war and that we've already won and will win any day now isn't having any impact on the strait of hormuz which is currently open and closed, otherwise, iran might be launching strikes from equipment that's been totally destroyed

Iran war live updates: Donald Trump says US Navy has opened fire on an Iranian cargo ship


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-20/iran-war-live-updates-blockade-hormuz-us-negotiations/106581706

You know this occurred... AFTER Iran opened fire on two tankers, right? Or do actual facts just somehow escape your attention? So funny how you love to paint Iran as some kind of victim.

The British military says a cargo vessel was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, damaging containers on board. The attack is the second on Saturday, after two gunboats from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards opened fire on a tanker transiting the key waterway.
https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-04-18-2026

Why did Iran fire on the ships? You left that part out.

Because the US effectively broke the ceasefire by blocking Iranian ports and allowing the Israenazis to commit war crimes in Lebanon. America and Israel started the war last year and have reneged on negotiations 3 times. This is not Iran's war to start but Iran is allowed to conduct the war as it sees fit as long as the zionists keep breaking international law and committing war crimes. They are merely a re-actor to the fight.

Why did Iran fire on the ships? Because the ships dared to try and traverse the Strait after Iran first declared it open, and then reneged by saying it was closed and only they control it. That's why. It's really entertaining to see you constantly spluttering and trying to spin this narrative that poor Iran is the victim here. THEY reneged on opening the Strait up and then decided to fire on any ships who wouldn't listen. Sure, Iran can "conduct the war as it sees fit" - and so can we. Iran opened fire on ships first. Deal with it.

Iran reversed its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and fired on a tanker attempting to pass the waterway on Saturday. It also warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.”

Two gunboats from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It reported the tanker and crew as safe, without identifying the vessel or its destination. TankerTrackers.com reported vessels were forced to turn around in the strait, including an Indian-flagged supertanker, after they were fired on by Iran.

The previous poster correctly stated that Israel broke the ceasefire so the strait was closed. It's really not complicated.

If Iran wants a ceasefire from Israel then they should be negotiating that with Israel. The US isn't responsible for Israel.

Iran is foolish to attack US boats. Only Israel gets to do that with no consequences (aka USS liberty)

New poster but WSJ has had a critical lens on Trump for his entire 2nd term, particularly his abysmal economic policies.
