Trump posted on social media saying he ordered the U.S. military last month to
carry out a secret mission to support tankers and other commercial vessels
transiting the Strait of Hormuz. He said the operation has enabled more than 100
million barrels of oil to pass through the Strait and enter the open market, and
that over 200 commercial vessels have transited safely. He added the action
shows the United States, not Iran, controls the Strait of Hormuz.
