United States has begun establishing a new safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz
2026-04-12

Text:

CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper announced that the United States has begun establishing a new safe passage for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The route will be shared soon to restore confidence and ensure the free flow of commerce.

U.S. forces have already begun clearing Iranian-laid sea mines. Two Navy destroyers have transited the strait and are operating in the Gulf to secure the corridor.

Underwater drones are now being deployed to accelerate the mine-clearing effort.

Translated Text:

🛑No destroyer was forced to retreat, nor did any Iranian threat occur in the Strait of Hormuz

The negotiating team in Pakistan is begging America to remove the mines,

as it has been revealed that the defeated Iranian regime planted random mines on the Omani side and does not know their locations, and there is no technology, technology, or capabilities to remove them except for American capabilities to clear them, and for this reason they are making excuses with Lebanon and other pathetic files, claiming that the Strait is still closed

And to cover up this scandal, setback, and catastrophe, the remnants of the defeated Revolutionary Guard in Iran spread false news about the retreat of the American destroyer that sweeps away mines

Excuse them; their collapsed gang cannot bear more defeats and setbacks, so they needed to boost their morale through a fabricated story of alleged American fear
