President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States conducted a previously undisclosed operation to help ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy shipping routes.
According to Trump, the effort enabled more than 100 million barrels of oil to reach global markets while helping to prevent sharp increases in fuel prices.
Trump presented the mission as part of a broader effort to maintain stability in global energy markets amid ongoing tensions in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz serves as a key corridor for international oil shipments, making any disruption to maritime traffic a major concern for governments, energy producers, and financial markets worldwide.
The comments come as Washington continues to emphasize the importance of protecting maritime commerce and energy supplies in the Gulf region.
The claimed operation, if confirmed, would represent a significant effort to safeguard global oil flows during a period of heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
