😱 Iran BLOCKED Hormuz With 300 Mines and 50 Attack Boats – US Navy Broke Through in 6 Hours 😱
In a rapid and coordinated military operation, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) executed Operation Sovereign Shield, deploying 300 sea mines and 50 fast attack boats across the Strait of Hormuz in an attempt to block one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
The operation was initiated at 3:15 a.m., and by 5:20 a.m., two tankers had struck mines, prompting a declaration of the Strait as a war risk zone.
In response, the United States Central Command received an executive order to reopen the strait and eliminate all threats.
Over the next six hours, U.S. forces carried out a multi-phase operation that included neutralizing Iranian submarines, suppressing coastal missile batteries, and engaging the fast attack boats.
The U.S. Navy successfully destroyed three Iranian submarines, 40 fast attack boats, and 18 coastal missile batteries, while clearing a safe corridor through the mined waters.
Despite sustaining minor injuries to two sailors and damage to one tanker, the U.S. Navy accomplished its mission with zero losses to its ships or aircraft.
The blockade that was intended to disrupt global energy markets lasted only six hours, showcasing the effectiveness and rapid response capabilities of American naval power.
