UK's Royal Navy Prepares to Clear Mines in Strait of Hormuz as Trump's Iran Deal Nears
(Mirror - UK) Matt Atherton - The Royal Navy's RFA Lyme Bay is on standby in Gibraltar, ready to lead an international mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz once a US-Iran peace deal is finalized - as at least 6,000 ships remain blocked from the vital shipping lane. The ship will shortly leave Gibraltar to rendezvous with the UK destroyer HMS Dragon and partner vessels for aerial coverage before navigating through the Suez Canal towards the Persian Gulf.
