1/7
I wrote this on March 12th.
Nothing in counter-mine warfare has meaningfully changed since.
Now we have confirmation from BOTH Iran and the US that the Strait of Hormuz traffic lanes have been mined.
This is no longer theoretical.
It’s happening.

Mine clearance is already one of the slowest, most methodical naval operations at sea.
Now add:
– Active air threats
– Missile risk
– Drone surveillance
You don’t just “send in the mine hunters.”
You protect them first.
That means winning the air war.

1/6 - There’s a lot of talk right now about “forcing a way through” the Strait of Hormuz.
That makes sense in a naval context.
It does NOT translate to commercial shipping. 👇

Maritime tensions remind us how vital the law governing warfare at sea remains.
Our naval warfare series explores how IHL protects civilian shipping & seafarers, and whether existing rules fit for modern naval operations.

5/5 Macro Stakes: If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, oil could hit $150/barrel. The inability of the US Navy to guarantee safe passage via traditional convoy escorts marks the twilight of conventional naval supremacy. 🌍⛽️
#NavalWarfare #MaritimeSecurity #EnergySecurity #DroneSwarms
5/5 Enjeux macro : Si le détroit d'Ormuz reste fermé, le pétrole pourrait atteindre 150$/baril. L'incapacité de l'US Navy à garantir un passage sécurisé par escorte classique (convois) marque la fin d'une ère de domination navale conventionnelle. 🌍⛽️ #NavalWarfare #MaritimeSecurity#DroneSwarms
5/5 Without a robust and deployed Mine Countermeasures (MCM) force, forcing the strait is a major sovereign gamble. Losing a Tier-1 warship to a "low-cost" mine would trigger a psychological shockwave. At Hormuz, geography still dictates the law. 🧭 #USNavy #MaritimeSecurity #Hormuz #NavalWarfare
raising fears that even limited disruptions could trigger major economic shocks and send energy prices surging worldwide.
