Amirhossein Khorgooei/ISNA/AFP via " Despite the president's pronouncement, there are still questions about how quickly commercial ships can start moving, and whether Iran will truly allow those ships to resume free access in what is an international waterway. There are still some 1,500 ships stuck inside the Persian Gulf waiting to leave, according to industry analysts, including hundreds of ocean-going vessels such as oil tankers. Before the U.S. and Israel waged war against Iran at the end of February, 140 ships passed through the Strait each day, according to both industry analysts and U.S. officials. The attacks against Iran led its leaders to close the Strait to traffic by firing drones and missiles at ships and laying mines along the shipping lanes, according to U.S. officials. The U.S. has already started removing some of those mines and opened up a new pathway off Oman so ships can leave and not have to hug the Iranian coast, said Capt. "It's been a U.S. effort," Hawkins said, adding he would not talk about how long such an effort would take.
