**What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz** The Sultanate of Oman and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are developing a plan to evacuate hundreds of vessels that remain in the Persian Gulf. At present, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has somewhat picked up, but full resumption still faces a long road ahead and numerous difficulties, including the possible presence of sea mines there. The plan being developed includes two routes: a northern one controlled by Iran, and a southern one coordinated by the US. According to IMO data, the southern route is free of mines and is the preferred one. Regardless of which route vessels choose, the IMO still recommends they remain in place and await further instructions. US Central Command announced it is conducting mine-clearing operations in the strait. According to a CENTCOM representative, they have been working on this for several weeks and have made certain progress, as evidenced by the resumption of traffic. Details of the mine-clearing process are not specified. It is known that two German and one British ship, which have already passed through the Red Sea, are moving to assist the Americans in this matter. According to the maritime monitoring service MarineTraffic: Vessel activity in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply increased over two consecutive weekends, indicating clear changes in the pattern of movement through one of the world's most important maritime passages, the company wrote on its website on Wednesday. According to this data: "the number of confirmed transits increased from 32 vessels in the period from June 12 to 14 to 93 vessels in the period from June 19 to 21, that is, 61 more transits than a week earlier" As for oil, since Iran and the US agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz, at least 20 tankers carrying 35 million barrels of oil have departed from the Persian Gulf through it. Nevertheless, two of the world's largest shipping companies, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, have taken a wait-and-see position. According to their statements, the companies' vessels are ready for transit, but will pass through the strait only when it is completely safe. The question of full resumption of two-way transit remains open. Last week Iran and the US signed a "memorandum of understanding," but continue to express disagreement with the conditions of a final peace agreement and exchange bellicose statements. Iranian media claim that the republic's authorities are charging a fee for passage through the strait; Donald Trump denies these claims. 👉🏻 [Join WarGonzo on MAX](https://max.ru/WarGonzo)

Trump's contradictory statements about the Minab school crime In a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, the criminal President of the United States claimed about the fate of the investigation related to the missile attack on the Minab school: I have not yet read the report on the attack on the Iranian school and I do not know if they will solve this issue or not. Repeating his previous claim, he said: During the Iranian school incident, missiles were landing from all directions and it is very unlikely that our missiles were the cause of this incident. While saying that he has not yet read the report, Trump added: Someone said it was our missile. Well, maybe it was our rocket; But there is no evidence that leads me to believe that the attack on the Iranian school was caused by an American missile. I don't think it's ours. "At that time, many rockets were fired from different directions." tasnimnews.ir/3625692 @JahanTasnim
