How the US Will Blockade Iran in The Strait of Hormuz Explained

How will the US block an Iranian blockade in the Strait of Hormuz? Instead of using aircraft carriers in the narrow straits, they would use guided-missile destroyers, placing one in the north, one in the center, and keeping one as a backup.

But here is a major problem: Iran isn't just fighting with missiles, but with sea mines. Iran has dropped these all over the Strait of Hormuz, and many have even drifted away to neighboring Arab states. The answer to these mines is the Littoral Combat Ship, which can launch unmanned surface vehicles.


To reach deep minefields, the Knifefish UUV dives straight into the danger zone to hunt and identify buried mines, using magnetic and acoustic signals to detonate them.


But Iran still has mosquito boats that can attack US warships and threaten the blockade. To counter this, the US can launch fast-attack Apache helicopters to chase down the boats."
