Will Navies Leave Behind 'Ghost Armies' in the Gulf?

Naval mines pose a significant threat to shipping in the Gulf, even after a potential resolution to the ongoing conflict.

The Gulf has seen a surge in naval mine use, with countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE employing them to varying degrees. This has led to concerns about the potential impact on shipping and trade.

Experts warn that clearing minefields could be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring significant resources and international cooperation.
