200 ships and 100 million barrels of oil. That why oil was in the low 80s until the chicken littles started cackling again.

First, he claims 200 commercial (not oil tankers, but counting all types) ships transited in a month.

Pre-war more than 100 ships transited per day.

100 million barrels of oil sounds like a lot, until you realize that was 5 days worth in January before Trump started this mess.

So we got out 5 days worth of oil out in 30 days. Congrats?

That is less than 5 days of oil and a fraction of what typically passes through the Straits.

If it's even true
