US conducts secret oil transfer via Strait of Hormuz
Reports have indicated that the United States has carried out a covert operation to transport oil through the Strait of Hormuz in order to safeguard international energy supplies. The operation involves creating an oil shipping corridor aimed at moving millions of barrels daily, with U.S. forces intervening to secure the passage of tankers and monitoring the southern part of the strait. Sources have noted that approximately 15 to 20 tankers pass through this corridor daily, transporting around 10 million barrels of oil every day to the energy market—half the amount that was passing before the recent conflict began. Officials also explained that the United States has been controlling the corridor for the past two months, and Iran's ability to monitor the movement has diminished, with limited monitoring still conducted by the Revolutionary Guard. The operation helps reduce disruptions to oil supplies, although the amount of oil passing through remains below pre-war levels. In a related development, an official confirmed that U.S. forces shot down eight Iranian drones and two cruise missiles late Monday night as part of their efforts to counter threats to these vital maritime routes.
