US military says it facilitated 380 million barrels of oil transiting Hormuz

The US Central Command (Centcom) reported facilitating the transit of 380 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since early May, denying Iran's claim of control over the waterway. Centcom stated that Iran does not control the Strait and that US forces have enabled over 800 commercial vessel transits amid recent tensions.
