On August 27, sources revealed that U.S. allies privately assess that there are likely still mines in the Strait of Hormuz. While the U.S. has made some progress in mine clearance in international waters, it is estimated that 80 to 150 mines laid by Iran have not been completely cleared, and some mines may have drifted from their original positions due to ocean currents. Trump has repeatedly claimed that all mines in the strait have been cleared and described the Hormuz Strait as a 'very normal operating strait.' The U.S. Central Command declined to comment on estimates regarding the number of mines in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. Analysts believe the likelihood that all mines in the strait have been cleared is 'extremely low.' Even if the mine threat is reduced, a significant number of merchant vessels remain within the range of Iranian drones and short-range missiles, with many ships beyond the coverage of U.S. air defense systems. The International Maritime Organization has also stated that there is no precise information confirming the clearance of mines and has urged vessels to exercise maximum caution. Iran claims that only it knows the locations of the mines and has warned that U.S. mine clearance vessels could become targets. Currently, Iran and Oman are discussing the establishment of a 'temporary joint maritime corridor' and mine clearance projects; the UK and France are also planning mine clearance and shipping security operations after a ceasefire.

On August 27, the head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, Eslami, stated that any inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of nuclear facilities that have suffered military attacks must receive legal approval from the Iranian parliament and corresponding regulations must be established. He noted that all Iranian nuclear facilities that have been attacked were previously registered and inspected by the IAEA. The agency's failure to condemn these attacks has raised questions about its capability and independence. The U.S. and Israel are pressuring the agency to visit the damaged Iranian nuclear facilities to assess the results of their military strikes. Until the security regulations mandated by the Iranian parliament are enacted, Iran will not accept the agency's requests to inspect these facilities. (CCTV News)
