I have work in synthetic aperture sonar for detection of these mines for almost two decades and can answer questions about this area for HN.

    Thank you for such an exceptional offer.

    What is the difficulty level to detect and sweep for these mines? Is it cost effective to have to do so constantly? Are anti sweeping countermeasures available and cost effective for Iran?

    What else would be relevant to ask in this context I may not know to ask but you’d consider sharing that might be useful context?

      sorry, for some reason i was never notified that anyone replied.

        HN does not send notices of replies. I think they used to (or at least had the option), but they don't anymore.

    If US and other ally nation ships that specialize in mine detection and removal had free access to the strait, how likely are they to be able to clean it out?
