Seems like a bold strategy, Cotton.

CNN: Iranian fishermen set off for a relaxing and fun filled day on the water.
But in less than an hour they would be engrossed in a mine launching endeavor

Begun? We heard that earlier today when we sank a ship laying mines
WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - The top U.S. general said on Tuesday that the United States was carrying out strikes against Iranian mine-laying vessels.
The war has effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for global oil and liquefied natural gas transport, leaving tankers unable to sail for more than a week and forcing producers to halt pumping as storage fills.
"(U.S. Central Command) continues today to hunt and strike mine-laying vessels and mine storage facilities," General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters.
Caine added that in the first 10 days of the campaign against Iran, the U.S. had sunk or destroyed more than 50 naval ships.

Would like to know the source because this seems like bullshite to try and reverse the oil price crash after tankers made it through with US escort

Hope our resident investors bought oil in the dip. Apparently the Chairman of the Joint Chief has said similar.

Iran's drones have been carrying payloads around 100-125 pound range. Naval mines weigh about 4x as much.
I don't think their drones have the payload capacity to carry naval mines

Drones? Your boys are running out Larry.

CNN is so desperately hoping this will happen, they probably got someone to tell them it was.
