US covert operation for Hormuz oil
Donald Trump claimed that the US has been conducting a secret mission to help Gulf oil tankers bypass Iran's blockade in the Strait of Hormuz by escorting vessels with their transmitters turned off. While some US military assistance has been acknowledged, the full extent of the operation remains unclear, with evidence suggesting that covert ship-to-ship transfers and shadow transits are allowing increased oil shipments through the waterway despite the ongoing blockade. Market data indicates that clandestine oil flows may be higher than previously thought, and these efforts have contributed to a recent decrease in oil prices, though experts warn prices could rise again if normal flows are not restored.
