U.S. Central Command (Centcom) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper reported that U.S. forces have supported the transport of over 1 billion barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the last couple of months, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. According to Fortune, the volume of oil, natural gas, and cargo transiting through the strait has reached its highest level in six months. The Hill also reported that the U.S. military has facilitated the passage of over 2,000 commercial ships during this period. While Centcom has not provided specific figures on Iran's oil exports, it noted that Iran has 'exported zero' in this timeframe. The reports highlight the U.S. military's role in maintaining maritime security and ensuring the continued flow of oil through a critical global shipping route.
