U.S. forces destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near Hormuz on March 10, 2026, to deter mining threats and protect global oil shipments.
U.S. forces destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz on March 10, 2026, in a military operation aimed at preventing potential mine deployments that could disrupt global oil shipments.
The strikes, confirmed by U.S. Central Command and supported by video footage, followed Iran’s threats to block the strategic waterway, through which about 20% of global oil passes.
President Donald Trump announced the action, warning of severe consequences if mines were deployed, though Iran has not confirmed laying mines.
The U.S. emphasized the operation was defensive, intended to protect maritime security and global energy markets, amid rising regional tensions and broader U.S.-Israel military actions against Iranian targets since February 28.
