President Donald Trump announced that we have secretly escorted ships carrying 100 million barrels of oil. As the bombing continues, President Trump also said we will take Kharg Island.
“At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America,” President Trump said.
According to Retired General Blaine Holt, we essentially have Kharg and have been sneaking oil off the island.
The United States has secretly escorted ships through the Strait of Hormuz. It is the U.S. version of a shadow fleet. This took place after our public announcement that Project Freedom was ending. Project Freedom never ended in reality. During Central Command’s briefing on Tuesday, Pete Hegseth said:
“Project Freedom—the idea of running ships through the Strait of Hormuz—it never stopped. It just went underground. We’ve been protecting commercial shipping going through the Strait of Hormuz to the tune of 100 million barrels that have moved through—in the middle of the night—protected by the United States in a way that Iran can’t stop. They can’t see it, and they can’t stop it.”
President Trump disclosed our efforts on Truth Social yesterday:
Last month, I directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market.
More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran.
Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran!.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “The United States of America controls the Strait of Hormuz. We’re able to bring oil in and out, along with other things, with partners, and have done so for weeks and weeks in ways the Iranians don’t want to acknowledge. That’s a powerful reality on the ground. Add that to what the United States military, what Central Command did to their Navy, to their Air Force, to their air defenses, and to their power projection capabilities.”
The U.S. has stopped 140 ships.
