A chilling new threat is surfacing in the Strait of Hormuz. Reports suggest Iran may deploy mine-carrying dolphins to strike U.S. warships, turning one of the world’s most vital oil routes into a covert battlefield. With its navy weakened, Tehran appears to be embracing unpredictable, underwater warfare. If true, such tactics could bypass traditional defences, escalate tensions rapidly, and send shockwaves through global markets. In a region already on edge, even the hint of this strategy raises the risk of sudden, devastating confrontation.
