Iran is taking steps to deploy naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping lane, two U.S. officials tell CBS News. The move defies warnings from President Trump, and fears of Iranian attacks on tankers have already slowed or halted ship traffic through the vital waterway. Matt Gutman reports.

JUST IN: President Trump responds after CBS News reported that Iran is "taking steps" to deploy mines through the shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz. CBS reported that Iran has an estimated 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines. "If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY!" Trump said on Truth Social. "If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before." "If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction!"

💢 BREAKING: President Donald Trump threatened Iran with massive military retaliation if naval mines appear in the Strait of Hormuz, after CNN reported Tehran has begun laying mines in the waterway, citing people familiar with U.S. intelligence. Here’s what to know: 1. Trump posted three times in succession on Truth Social. 🔸“If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait… we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote. “If… they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before.” 🔸 He added that removing any mines would be “a giant step in the right direction.” 🔸 In a later post, Trump claimed U.S. forces had already destroyed “10 inactive mine-laying boats and/or ships,” adding that more strikes would follow. 2. CNN said “a few dozen” mines have been laid in recent days and that Iran still has 80–90% of its mine-laying boats and small craft intact, meaning it could deploy hundreds of mines if it chose. 3. Separately, U.S. officials said to CBS News that Iran may be preparing to deploy naval mines using small boats capable of carrying two to three mines each. 4. Estimates suggest Iran possesses 2,000–6,000 naval mines, the report said. 5. The Strait of Hormuz carries about 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas supply, making it the most critical energy chokepoint on the planet.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A retired U.S. Navy admiral says the U.S. should clear sea mines and secure the Strait of Hormuz. “If we don’t do this, the message to the world is that Iran controls that strait.” A chokepoint the world depends on.

Absolute masterclass by Iran. They have completely outsmarted the US Navy by planting sea mines and declaring a massive danger zone in the Strait of Hormuz. Global shipping is now forced to navigate entirely on Iran's terms. Washington is completely powerless.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio shuts down critics claiming the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is an "act of war": "Under no circumstances can we ever allow [Iran] to normalize the fact that they get to blow up commercial ships and put mines in the water. So the response to that is, we're gonna blockade your ships [...] That's not an act of war, that's a defensive measure [...] You know what is an act of war? Putting mines in the water."

🇺🇸🇮🇷Hegseth Drops Red Line: More Iranian Mines in Hormuz = Ceasefire Broken. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has warned that any further Iranian attempts to lay additional mines in the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a violation of the ceasefire. The core challenge for the United States is Iran’s reliance on small, fast attack boats that can easily blend in with civilian and fishing traffic. Iran possesses hundreds of highly maneuverable, low-profile vessels capable of operating from coastal areas, islands, and concealed bases. These craft deploy mines using simple onboard equipment such as small cranes, typically under cover of darkness or in coordinated swarms designed to overwhelm surveillance. As a result, it is extremely difficult for the U.S. to detect or confirm whether Iran is continuing to lay mines. There is also significant uncertainty regarding the total number of mines already deployed, to the point that even Iran may lack complete knowledge of their exact locations and quantities.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The US military intends to deploy underwater DRONES to sweep the Strait of Hormuz clear of any Iranian mines This is partially because Iran is too INCOMPETENT to even find their own mines! Open the Strait 🔥 "USS Michael Murphy and the USS Frank E. Peterson are searching for any Iranian mines while trying to establish a clear and safe path. Underwater drones will also be used in the coming days." Matt Finn

🇮🇷🇺🇸The NYT confirms Iran has started laying mines using small boats after the U.S. destroyed their larger minelaying vessels. The IRGC can deploy hundreds of these boats, hoping to plant mines faster than America can clear them. But think about this for a second. Iran didn't need mines to keep the Strait closed. Drones, missiles, and the threat of attack had already frozen commercial shipping entirely. Mining the waterway blocks everyone. That includes Iranian and Chinese vessels. The only reason Iran would sabotage its own shipping route and alienate the one superpower still buying its oil is desperation... Source: BFPS on YT / NYT
