The U.S. Has Begun Secretly Shipping Millions Of Barrels Of Oil Through The Strait Of Hormuz

The team overseeing the operation is based in North Carolina.

The U.S. has secretly established a shipping corridor in the Strait of Hormuz to transport millions of barrels of oil daily, according to Axios two informed sources. According to them, as part of the operation, 15–20 tankers pass along the coast of Oman every night and transport about 10 million barrels, which is roughly half of the pre-war volume. “We’ve been controlling the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz for two months now. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) may cause some trouble, but it doesn’t control the strait. We do,” said one of the publication’s sources.

According to Axios, the group overseeing the operation is based in North Carolina and coordinates its actions with partners in the Middle East. The U.S. military is helping tankers enter the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Sea, load oil in countries in the region, and then exit through the Strait of Hormuz. Convoys of ships move at specific times in accordance with military instructions, which provide protection against Iranian cruise missiles and drones. As Axios notes, this week alone, the U.S. shot down eight Iranian drones and two cruise missiles.

Against this backdrop, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that “huge amounts of oil” are being shipped through the Strait of Hormuz. He also noted that negotiations with Tehran are not currently underway, as they are a “waste of time.” “The Iranians still have the strength to fight, but overall, they are merely a shadow of their former selves,” said the White House chief. The American leader also posted a map of the Strait of Hormuz on his social media platform, Truth Social, with the caption “New U.S. Territory.” Previously, he had said that once the war with Tehran ended, he would declare the strait American territory.

Before the war between the U.S. and Iran began, up to 20% of global oil exports passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran closed this strategically important sea route to shipping following massive strikes on its territory. This triggered a sharp rise in global oil prices. In response to Tehran’s actions, the U.S. imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. As part of the conflict resolution, Iran is demanding the right to charge a toll for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
