Whats the point of it.
Its like hoping Iran would resort to such an act (mining) and not simply sink ships from their shores???. (which is safer and cheaper and more effective.)
But it is actually to shut Israel up and not scare Iran off.

It is logical from a military point of view, that before any mining would happen, any western warships in that area should be "neutralized", before that mining operation.
