Reports indicate that Iran has again laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, an "illegal shipping lane" belonging to Oman. The report states that at least some of the missiles Iran fired into the Strait of Hormuz earlier carried mines. It is unclear how many such mines Iran has laid in total, or whether the mine-laying operation was successful. (Note: This news is widely circulating on social media, but has not yet been reported by mainstream Iranian media. Investors should exercise caution and verify the information.)
