Today, they are cheap Iranian drones and floating mines.”“As of last week, U.S. officials believe that as many as a dozen Iranian mines are already in the waterway, and some 5,000 more are in reserve. In both cases, low-cost, mobile, and easily concealed weapons pose an outsize threat to far more advanced—and expensive—U.S. weaponry.”
