Trump says ensuring hundreds of millions of barrels of oil through the strait

On June 11, U.S. President Trump posted on social media platforms that he instructed the U.S. military to carry out "secret missions" last month to "support oil tankers and other merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz." Trump said in a post that the action "has enabled more than 100 million barrels of oil to enter the open market through the Strait of Hormuz, and more than 200 merchant ships have safely passed through the Strait." Trump stressed that "this operation was a huge success because the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz-not Iran." Their army has been defeated and their economy has been ruined. Iran's trend is over!" (CCTV International News)
