Iran has deployed more sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, according to a report from Axios. This action continues a pattern of Iranian activity that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has previously declared a violation of the ceasefire. The mining operations contribute to the heightened risk and limited transit levels through the critical global oil chokepoint.
