US intelligence saw indications that Iran was taking steps to deploy naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, raising new concerns over the security of one of the world's most important oil shipping routes, according to a report by CBS News.
The report, by CBS journalist Jim LaPorta, said the scale of Iran's mine stockpile is not publicly known, though past estimates have ranged from about 2,000 to 6,000 mines.
The report adds to growing concern that Tehran could try to threaten one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints as the war intensifies.
