  They didn’t release mines (yet) though? Or am I out of the loop?

    The US sunk 16 of their mine laying ships and has been having to shoot down mine laying drones. No one really going through so no real idea about how many if any mines have gotten through.

      Is that verified and were the ships actually in operation? All I saw was “inactive mine-laying ships”

        The count I saw is that Iran has something like 450 ships in operation prior to the start of this war.

        I do believe we sank them before they were active along with or near in time to the first decapitation strike. Personally no idea about whether they have more.

    There have been some, but I’m not sure to which extent.
