Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz using mines, kamikaze drone boats, and GPS jamming, trapping 3,000 ships and 20,000 crew in the region. At least 16 ships have been hit, with naval drones and flying drones being employed in attacks. There are concerns about the deployment of anti-ship mines in the Strait, with reports of a small number already in place.
