Axios: 40 tankers with 16M barrels pass Strait of Hormuz
According to Axios, approximately 40 oil tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Friday under American aerial protection, passing around 16 million barrels of oil out of the Gulf towards international waters despite Iran's blockade of the strait. These operations demonstrate that the United States supports freedom of navigation through the strait, including a secret ongoing effort for several weeks to assist empty tankers in entering the Gulf through the strait before loading oil and exiting again. Although the flows are lower compared to pre-war levels, they still channel significant amounts of oil, increasing supplies to the global market.
