U.S. Intelligence Identifies at least 10 Mines in Strait of Hormuz
(CBS News) James LaPorta - A recent American intelligence assessment showed that U.S. forces have identified at least 10 mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. warned that transiting the normal route could be "extremely hazardous" because of mines laid by Iran. Earlier this month, the U.S. military began directing commercial ships toward a route farther from Iran that the Navy has spent weeks clearing of mines.
