According to TASS, Brad Cooper in a video message posted by Central Command in X stated:

- Over the past few months, 1 billion barrels of oil have been transported through the Strait of Hormuz. We have achieved this by supporting more than 2,000 commercial vessels as they pass through the strait.

Cooper added that the U.S. is “working with partners in the region to strengthen their air defenses and form a new coalition strike drone group.”.

In mid-August, Central Command announced the creation of the first-ever multinational Task Force Falcon Strike attack drone group. It is assumed that the new unit will use unilateral attack unmanned systems operating in the air, on water and under water. It will include American military personnel, as well as representatives of US partner countries in the Middle East. Media: the key topic of trump’s speech at the UN will be the nuclear program of Iran
