Trump Says U.S. Secretly Moved Millions of Barrels of Oil Through Strait of Hormuz
Trump said a secret U.S. military mission helped move more than 100 million barrels through the Strait of Hormuz and kept oil prices lower.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military conducted a "secret mission" to support oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the effort enabled more than 100 million barrels of oil to reach the open market.
- The Strait of Hormuz has remained effectively closed since the conflict with Iran began February 28, roiling global energy supplies and contributing to inflation, which hit 4.2% in May.
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared confused Wednesday when asked about the operation, admitting he was "unaware" of the mission while facing congressional scrutiny over previous false claims regarding the strait.
- Trump warned that military strikes against Iran will continue "very hard" today, stating the country must "pay the price" for taking too long to negotiate a nuclear deal.
- Experts warn that despite administration claims, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, leaving global energy prices volatile as crude oil trades near $90 per barrel.
