Demining of Strait of Hormuz to be carried out only by Iran, deputy foreign minister says

The Strait of Hormuz's demining will exclusively be handled by Iran, as stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, in accordance with an agreement between Tehran and Washington. This move counters French President Macron's suggestion that France and Oman are collaborating on the project. This situation is significant as the Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping route, and control over its security has major geopolitical implications, particularly concerning oil supply routes and international trade.
