The US defence department during a classified briefing to the senate armed forces committee said Iran is laying powerful underwater and surface water mines in the Strait of Hormuz but within its own territory.

IF the briefing was classified, then how does this supposed news source know about it?

'IF the briefing was classified, then how does this supposed news source know about it?'

ABSOLUTELY! You are right - this article is from an ISLAMIC oriented website, no friend of the US. and its source is an Indian or Pakistan based website, and with NO attribution other than a "classified" briefing, it could be just a way to fire up the anti-american sentiment among ISLAMOFACISTS. I am not believing this one second (as much as i'd like to).
