In the past two weeks, shipments of crude oil, liquefied natural gas and commercial cargo through the Strait of Hormuz have reached their highest level in six months. About this video message said the head of the Central command of the armed forces of the United States Admiral Brad Cooper.

In a statement, Admiral Brad Cooper said U.S. actions to protect shipping and demining the strait “have been bearing fruit.” “The dynamics are clearly growing,” he said. According to him, the main transit routes in the strait are free of mines and allies in the Persian Gulf “over the past two months” carried through it more than 1 billion barrels of crude oil. He also said U.S. forces had helped more than 2,000 commercial vessels pass through the strait.

The admiral noted that the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf region are working to further increase the volume of transported raw materials. At the same time, he stressed that Iran during this time “exported zero barrels” in the conditions of the American blockade of the strait.
