    The straight is a very narrow area to cover. Tankers are slow moving through the straight. It’s just different than trying to deny a wide open space from both vehicles and infantry.

      Still makes a lot of sense to me that they’d try to deploy at least some mines; needing an Iranian pilot to get through the strait would provide one more advantage.
