Mine-clearing operation in Strait of Hormuz could delay shipping return by weeks.
Shipping and maritime security sources estimate that clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz could take 40 to 50 days following a preliminary US-Iran agreement to reopen the waterway. The strait, which handled 20% of the world's daily oil and LNG supply before the war, has been blocked since the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Industry officials say war risk underwriters and shipping companies need assurances that passage is safe before resuming transits.
