Maritime experts estimate clearing Iranian mines from Strait of Hormuz could take weeks after US-Iran deal to reopen waterway.
Shipping and maritime security sources estimate that clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz could take 40 to 50 days following a preliminary US-Iran agreement to end their war and reopen the waterway. The strait, which handled 20% of the world's daily oil and LNG supply before the conflict began on February 28, remains a risk for commercial shipping until mine-free routes are established. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran has mined large segments of the strait, though the exact number and locations remain unclear.
