Bloomberg has reported that any European mission to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz will depend on Iran providing security guarantees for participating vessels and on the sustainability of the ceasefire.

The agency added that Iran has recently softened its opposition to the involvement of foreign countries in demining operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

Bloomberg continued that Iran's willingness to allow European countries to remove mines is part of an agreement aimed at restoring normal maritime navigation through the strait.
