[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USA keeps saying they sent two navy warships through strait to remove mines. Apparently these two ships don’t have that capability, so that’s a lie. 
The strait is still closed, despite peace talks. [/quote]

They do indeed have that capability.  Why are you lying?  Here are both Indian and Bahrani sources stating as much, since you no doubt weirdly refuse to believe western sources:

“The US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, April 11, as two US Navy guided-missile destroyers conducted operations,” the US Central command said.

The USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and the USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) transited the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Persian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

“Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce,” said AdmiralBrad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.

These were Arleigh Burke destroyers, not minesweepers. Still significant. But Iran isn't going to do anything while they're chatting with Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner in Pakistan. Persians are renowned for their good manners. Famous for it. Can those destroyers get out of the Persian Gulf will be the question. [/quote]
