U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper revealed on Saturday that more than 1 billion crude oil barrels passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past few months.“We’ve reached this significant milestone while assisting over 2000 commercial ship transits through the Strait by providing coordinated protection. Clearly momentum is building,” Cooper said in on social media.
“Thousands of ships have passed through the Strait. Over 1 billion barrels of crude have been shipped from Gulf partners through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has exported zero barrels thanks to our ironclad blockade,” he continued.
