Trump Claims U.S. Military Running Millions of Barrels of Oil Daily from Iran Strait, Energy Secretary Denies

According to BlockBeats, on June 11, President Trump claimed the U.S. military has been running "millions of barrels" of oil nightly through the Strait of Hormuz, attributing this to keeping oil prices from surging further and citing a classified mission to ensure tanker passage.

U.S. Energy Secretary Leffler contradicted the assertion during a congressional hearing, stating she was unaware of any oil exports from Iran and only confirming U.S. military assistance for certain tankers transiting the strait.
