US military says mines cleared from Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes

The US military said the main shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared of mines, with maritime traffic returning to normal. Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command, said thousands of vessels have already passed through the waterway after the clearance work was completed.

Over the past two weeks, shipments of crude, cargo and liquefied natural gas reached their highest level in six months, according to his statement. The update points to a recovery in traffic through one of the world’s key energy transit routes, based on the figures and remarks cited in the original report.

Trump Says Strait of Hormuz 'Is Open' as US Officials Claim Iran's Leverage Is Fading

US officials say American forces have spent the past two months steadily eroding Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that has been Tehran's strongest leverage since the war began in late February. Officials now describe the shift as a potential turning point in the conflict, one that could gradually relieve pressure on the global economy and improve the chances of reaching a better agreement with Iran. President Donald Trump told Axios in a phone interview Thursday that the strait "is open" and that Iran's response has been "very mild." "They don't want us to hit them again. That's the whole thing. Nothing else matters," he said. The US actions came after the collapse of a US-Iran memorandum. Washington then moved unilaterally to reopen the waterway. A task force formed with the UAE has been guiding ships through the southern shipping lane, providing air cover, and intercepting Iranian drones and cruise missiles. A two-week bombing campaign has significantly weakened the Revolutionary Guard's ability to attack vessels in the strait. A minesweeping operation involving Navy divers, SEAL teams, underwater and surface drones, and private contractors is clearing mines. The blockade of Iranian ports has been restored. (Jinshi)

Iran says it reached Strait revenue-sharing terms with Oman, blames U.S. interference for delays

Iranian Revolutionary Guard spokesperson Hossein Mohbi said Iran and Oman reached mutually acceptable results after talks held about a month ago over the Strait of Hormuz, including each country’s share of the waterway and how revenue would be divided. Mohbi said the strait is currently under Iran’s control and that no hostile warships are present in the Persian Gulf. He also said no vessel can pass through the waterway without Iran’s permission and management from the standpoint of military and territorial jurisdiction. According to Mohbi, the United States is interfering in the process, which has delayed follow-up work. He added that if Washington does not accept Iran’s conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened. The remarks were carried by Odaily, citing Jin10.

Iran parliamentary committee approves service fee clause for ships passing through Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has approved Article 3 of the Strategic Action Plan to Ensure the Security and Development of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran’s Mehr News Agency. Committee spokesperson Hassan Qashqavi said on Sunday that the measure would allow Iran to charge fees for maritime services, environmental services, fuel supplied in special situations, insurance, security, and other services. The charges would apply to ships from relevant countries that are authorized to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with payment to be made in rials or in another currency designated by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Qashqavi also said the rights of countries along the strait must be taken seriously, adding that international laws and regulations recognize not only freedom of navigation, but also the need to respect the security and sovereignty of coastal states and prevent violations of those rights.
