President Donald Trump revealed a secret US military mission. This operation supported oil tankers and commercial ships. Over 100 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz. More than 200 ships traveled safely. Trump stated the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz, not Iran. He declared Iran's military defeated and its economy lost.

Donald Trump brought up the oil right after a report showed inflation surging.

Trump's comments come after Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Tuesday that oil exports through Hormuz are "rising very meaningfully" without elaborating further.
