U.S. conducting stealth operation to transport oil through Hormuz: Report
U.S. forces have helped more than 1,000 ships pass through a covert southern corridor and moved about 5 million barrels a day in July, analysts said.
- The U.S. military has quietly established a shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz to keep oil exports moving despite the ongoing conflict with Iran.
- U.S. forces are coordinating tanker convoys through a southern route along Oman’s coast, with about 15 to 20 vessels reportedly crossing the strait each night.
- The operation also helps empty tankers enter the Gulf, load oil at regional ports and safely return through the waterway under U.S. military coordination.
- U.S. officials say the effort was enabled by recent American strikes that weakened Iran’s radar and maritime surveillance capabilities around the strait.
- Oil flows through Hormuz have recovered to roughly 10 million barrels a day, about half their pre-war level, helping ease global supply concerns while remaining vulnerable to further attacks.
