So the equivalent of 50 supertankers, a very good start that entirely alters the situation and potentially ends the Mexican standoff.

Last month, I directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz. 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. More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran. Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
So the equivalent of 50 supertankers, a very good start that entirely alters the situation and potentially ends the Mexican standoff.
There are about 1000 tankers held up at present. We’re getting there.
So why isn’t this oil being reflected in the market?
I am not sure that I would have revealed this information.
“So why isn’t this oil being reflected in the market?”
Gasoline is going down in Florida. It was as high as $4.39 at the corner; $3.97 last night.
Higher than before the shooting started - no doubt about that.
The ships turned off their transponders and traveled at night. This tactic has been an open secret for a while. See Lloyd’s List for details (subscription required)
How many hours until the MSM condemns Trump for NOT SNEAKING MORE TANKERS through?
Probably because it represents less than 5 days of oil used here in the US and a fraction of what was flowing through the Straits before the war Trump started
POTUS said the information was being revealed at this time because Iran had just learned about the mission.
Oil right now at $89.48.
Gas at Costco $3.31
Yep in about 5 years....
I don’t understand why the Navy can’t clear that Strait so that we don’t have to “sneak” ships through.
The MSM is certainly not going to report this.
We asked countries, who rely heavily on oil through the Strait, to help clear it and they declined. We may have destroyed most of their missiles, etc., but they still have some for attacks on ships and neighboring countries...look at the drones they sent after one of our ships the other day - to 100% destroy everything they have would be tom commit genocide on the Iranian People who just want some freedom.
