In the last few weeks, incidents of attacks on ships and collisions with landmines have increased in Hormuz. Actually, Iran has set a path for ships to pass through Hormuz. Apart from this route, Iran's army has laid landmines in Hormuz. Iran has said that the ships should take permission and pass only on the route decided by it. At the same time, America has decided on another route for ships to exit from Hormuz. Ships passing through America's designated route are facing Iranian attacks and landmines. US President Donald Trump had claimed that all the mines have been removed from Hormuz, but the collision of ships with them clearly shows that Trump's claim is wrong.
America started attacking Iran on 28 February. After this, Iran had banned the passage of ships through Hormuz. The war between the two sides lasted for 39 days and after that talks took place and a peace MoU was signed. After this, Iran's IRGC attacked ships passing through Hormuz without permission. In response to which America also continued bombing IRGC military bases. As a result, the agreement between Iran and America broke and now both the parties are going to start fresh talks to reach a peace agreement. Iran has put many conditions before America. He is ready to make a peace agreement only if they are accepted. Amidst all this, the safety of ships in Hormuz is in danger.
