CENTCOM reported assisting Gulf nations in exporting 1.5 billion barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, bypassing Iranian blockades. Over 3,000 commercial vessels successfully navigated the strait with CENTCOM support in the past six months, ensuring safe passage for more than 95% of them. The U.S. military's efforts have kept the main shipping routes free from Iranian mines. Iran claims control over the strait and demands permits for vessels, while the U.S. maintains a blockade on Iranian ports. Recent attacks on ships violating Iranian demands indicate Tehran's intent to showcase its ability to disrupt maritime traffic amid rising oil prices and upcoming U.S. elections.
