The operation to neutralize and destroy unexploded ordnance left over from the imposed war has begun in the north of Bandar Abbas and, according to Hormozgan officials, Nour News reports; will continue for the next two days.

Unexploded ordnance clearance near Bandar Abbas confirms what the phrasing 'imposed war' already implies: live ordnance from a recent conflict is still on the ground adjacent to Iran's principal naval and commercial port on the Strait of Hormuz, and the language is Tehran's standard framing for strikes attributed to Israel or the United States. Disposal operations of this kind are routine post-conflict housekeeping rather than escalation, but their location matters more than their content: Bandar Abbas sits astride the chokepoint through which a large share of seaborne crude and LNG transits, so any official activity there draws attention to shipping continuity rather than to the ordnance itself. Historically, the freight and insurance channel is the tell in Hormuz episodes, with war-risk premia and tanker rates repricing on evidence of disruption to vessel movements long before any physical closure, and normal port operations alongside a bounded, pre-announced clearance window is the pattern consistent with no market transmission. The Nour News sourcing is worth noting, as outlets close to Iran's security establishment have tended to carry officially sanctioned messaging, which suggests the announcement is intended to project control and normalization. What follows worth observing is whether the two-day window is extended, whether port or anchorage notices to mariners appear, and whether the operation is referenced in any broader official commentary about the conflict's status.
