United States (US) President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that a secret US military operation helped secure commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, allowing more than 100 million barrels of Oil to reach global markets amid ongoing tensions involving Iran.

Key takeaways:

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.

[I'm] 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.

More than 200 commercial ships have safely traveled through the Strait.”
