Is the U.S. Navy ready to clear sea mines in the Persian Gulf? - NPR
Overview
Analysis warns that U.S. Navy mine‑clearing capabilities in the Persian Gulf have received minimal attention and funding, leaving readiness limited. The Pentagon's estimate that clearing the Strait could take six months—and may not occur until the war ends—amplifies concerns that capability shortfalls will slow demining, verification and the safe resumption of commercial traffic.
