Iran May Have Placed Mines In Strait Of Hormuz

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Semiofficial news agencies in Iran have published a chart suggesting the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard mined the Strait of Hormuz during the war. The message may be intended to pressure the U.S. as uncertainty hangs over a days-old two-week ceasefire. Further negotiations are expected to be held in Pakistan. The shaky ceasefire has been largely holding between the U.S., Israel and Iran, although Tehran and Washington have offered vastly different explanations of the initial terms.
