US military says over 1B barrels of oil shipped through Strait of Hormuz under US blockade
Admiral Brad Cooper said U.S. forces escorted more than 2,000 commercial ships and kept the waterway clear of mines.
- Oil and liquefied natural gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz reached a six-month high in the past two weeks, with Admiral Brad Cooper crediting U.S. naval protection and mine clearance efforts as "paying off."
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted on September 13 that markets rely on roughly 10 million barrels daily transiting the Strait, a critical dependency the President Donald Trump administration has emphasized amid soaring fuel prices in an election year.
- Persian Gulf allies shipped more than one billion barrels of crude through the waterway in the last couple of months, while Cooper stated "Clearly, momentum is building" regarding collaborative efforts with insurers and shipping companies.
- Saudi authorities issued two early-morning air raid alerts for Riyadh on September 19, the first since March and April, following a September 17 Houthi strike in Taif that caused casualties and disrupted alternative routes.
- Regional negotiations on shipping routes have faltered, while Iran claims it "has exported zero barrels" under the U.S.-enforced blockade, underscoring persistent geopolitical tensions affecting long-term maritime stability.
