U.S. forces have cleared Iranian mines from key shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring safe passage for commercial vessels, according to CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. He reported the destruction of Iran's naval fleet and the absence of the IRGC in the area. U.S. military presence continues to secure navigation routes, with over 50,000 troops involved in Middle Eastern operations. Cooper noted significant oil exports from Gulf partners, totaling over 1.5 billion barrels since summer, while emphasizing that U.S. actions have hindered Iran's oil exports due to strict blockades. The Strait remains crucial for global oil and gas transport, previously affected by conflicts involving the U.S. and Israel.
