US Navy Warns of ‘Dangerous Military Activities’ in Strait of Hormuz

US Navy Warns of ‘Dangerous Military Activities’ in Strait of Hormuz The U.S. Navy has alerted commercial shipping to imminent “dangerous military activities” in and around the Strait of Hormuz, warning that vessels suspected of supporting mine-laying might be targeted. This advisory comes as negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue, with President Trump calling for the strait to be “immediately open” and any Iranian-laid mines “terminated.” The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports also remains in force, contributing to a critical maritime security threat level in the vital shipping lane. The warning was disseminated through the Joint Maritime Information Center and shared with operators via the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations office.
