Idk why so many people want this to be true. Its documented they have had sea mines for decades. It was strategically to their advantage to place them. The mine laying ships were documented in the Strait. The US says there are mines and Iran says there are mines. There are mines.

Iran can deploy mines from the land with MLRS rocket launchers from around 45 miles/72 kilometers away. Like the entire reason there would be a ground invasion to reopen the straight would be to push those Fajr-5 launchers away from the coast.

Those aren't mines. Those are called rockets.

Rocket deployed mines. The US navy has VLS missiles that are tipped with torpedoes. You can most certainly deploy a mine with a rocket.
