June 10 social media post.
"Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market."

Trump on Wednesday made big claims about the United States secretly helping move millions of barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route that has largely been closed to normal commercial traffic because of the ongoing conflict with Iran.
However, the operation may not have been as secret as Trump suggested. According to a senior US military official cited by The New York Times, the effort involved US Central Command quietly guiding commercial vessels through the strait, and details of the operation had already been reported publicly last month.
Speaking during a signing ceremony at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said the United States had quietly carried out the operation over the past several weeks. He later repeated the claims in a post on Truth Social.
According to Trump, he ordered the US military to support commercial vessels and oil tankers travelling through the strait. “Last month, I directed our Great US Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote.
He claimed the operation helped move…

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States military has secretly helped hundreds of commercial vessels and more than 100 million barrels of oil transit the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing tensions with Iran. In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump claimed the operation had enabled significant volumes of oil to continue moving through the strategic waterway despite disruption caused by the conflict.
"This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran," he wrote. "Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost."

PresidentDonald Trumpsaid Wednesday that the U.S. military has secretly helped 200 commercial ships and more than 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
"This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran," Trump said in aTruth Social post. "Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost."
Trump disclosed the operation earlier Wednesday during remarks to reporters in the Oval Office. He credited the clandestine exports with keeping oil prices around $90 per barrel instead of surging above $200.
But ship traffic through Hormuz is still well below prewar levels, said Helima Croft, global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets. The world is losing significant volumes of oil every day, Croft told CNBC in an interview.
About 20% of global petroleum supplies, or 20 million barrels per day, passed through Hormuz before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Traffic through the strait plunged after Iran retaliated by attacking ships and mining the sea lane. The effective closure of Hormuz has led to the loss of mor…
