President Trump Reveals Success of Secret Mission to Get Ships Through the Strait of Hormuz

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

For those who doubted that we were "sneaking" ships through under Iran's nose. Get over your TDS

AI tells me, "a VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier)—carries about 1.8 to 2.2 million barrels of crude oil."

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.
