CENTCOM's commander says the Strait of Hormuz is clear of Iranian mines and open to international shipping. Allies privately warn mines may remain, and an unnamed source estimates 80 to 150 were laid. Shipping through the strait fell sharply after the US and Israel began the war with Iran in late February. For Thai businesses, oil, LNG and fertiliser costs may stay volatile until shipping traffic visibly recovers, so keep fuel and input-cost budgets flexible rather than assuming relief.
