Removing all mines from the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the key waterway is safe for shipping could take weeks even after a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the war, according to a new report.
Western maritime security sources cited by Reuters noted that operations involving minesweepers and underwater drones could continue for 40 or 50 days after a deal. Only then some shipping companies could be confident enough to send their vessels through the key waterway.
