Tensions are ongoing over the fate of the Strait of Hormuz with the United States and Iran both claiming control over the strategic waterway.
Ships were seen in the Strait on Saturday, as the Trump administration continues to actively assert that the US Navy is in control of the passage, where about 20% of the world's traded oil passed before the war.
United States President Donald Trump and his aides insisted a near prewar level of Gulf oil was now making its way out of the critical waterway.
Vice President JD Vance at Thursday's press briefing said the US escorted about 15 million barrels of oil on Wednesday.
This was after Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC on Wednesday that 17 million barrels were carried through the strait on Monday with assistance from the US Navy.
