US Media: US Military Conducts Secret Operation to Open Oil Shipping Lane in Strait of Hormuz

Reports say the US military has quietly established a shipping lane in and out of the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring that "millions of barrels" of oil are transported out of the Strait daily, an operation that has been ongoing for several weeks. US officials say daily oil transport volumes continue to rise, currently approaching 10 million barrels, with some nights seeing total oil shipments from the Gulf reaching as high as 15 to 20 million barrels.
