Is Iran unable to locate its mines in the Strait of Hormuz?

Kharg does not matter as much for Iranian exports as the DC nutters assume.
During the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war Kharg was kept closed while oil exports from Iran continued to flow.

Any attempt to block Iran would necessitate the use of force to prevent Indian, Chinese and Russian ships from entering Iranian harbours.

It would also mean less oil supplies for the global markets. Historically sea blockades take many months and even years to show effects.
That is more time than Trump has to politically survive.

The only thing that will bring an end to this insanity is for the oppressed Iranian citizenry to take back the country that they lost to fanaticism 47 years ago.

Hopefully this will pressure them to act. Weapons have been sent to the Kurds and Israel is imbedded.

Problem: We sank all of their boats.
Second problem: Mines don't work that way.

From what I've read on sea mines, there are several types of mines used in blocking the Strait of Hormuz. They are acoustic, magnetic and command controlled.
I guess the variations can exceed those I've mentioned, but I'm a land lubber and know little about naval warfare.

America and Venezuela now control most of the worlds oil and soon the price. The effect of the blockade will quickly destroy whats left of Irans economy and there isnt a damn thing you cab do about it

If that were the case, why is gasoline now above $4.00/gal.

Because the tankers are just heading to the Gulf of America since Hormuz is closed.
After they get filled and head out the price will drop.

Look at the line of empty tankers rounding the Horn of Africa and heading to the Gulf of America
