Trump Says "Secret Military Mission" Allowed 200 Ships, 100 Million Barrels To Cross Hormuz

"Trump posted on Truth Social that he had "directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a

secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz." Trump added that "this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market. More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait," which would explain why oil prices have remained low and confirms what Goldman's Delta One head, Rich Privorotsky, wrote this morning, namely that "a lot has been thrown at the oil market and it’s simply not going up, which is remarkable given the level of escalation. The only conclusion that really fits the price action is that barrels are still getting through the Strait of Hormuz, visibly or otherwise. There doesn’t seem to be a more rational explanation."
"This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran" Trump concluded." ZeroHedge
