The US justifies the blockade of the Hormuz Strait by claiming that Iran cannot ensure the safety of ships due to uncharted mines, complicating passage through the strait.

Iran is unable to detect and neutralize all the mines laid in the Strait of Hormuz due to haphazard mining and uncertainty regarding the locations of the mines.
