Iran has developed a method to lay naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz using rockets fired from the coast. The US military claims it struck Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launchers on Larak Island after they were reportedly preparing to fire sea mines into the world's most vital oil route. This capability, demonstrated by Iran in 2025 using the Fajr-5 rocket artillery system, raises concerns about the potential disruption of 20% of global oil supplies.
