According to a report from tradealpha citing U.S. Central Command, the U.S. military has supported the transport of more than 1.25 billion barrels of crude oil from Gulf partner countries and through the Strait of Hormuz in recent months. In contrast, the report states that due to a U.S. 'iron-fisted blockade' of Iranian ports, Iran has been unable to export any crude oil during the same period. The claim highlights the U.S. military's role in securing oil shipments from allied Gulf states while enforcing sanctions that have halted Iranian oil exports. The information is attributed to U.S. Central Command and presented as a comparison of oil export outcomes under U.S. policy.
