Oil Price Mystery Solved: Trump’s Secret Operation in the Strait of Hormuz Ben Yiniv Falcon, 10 minutes ago 0 0

After questions about how it was possible that, despite the heavy Iranian blockade on Hormuz, oil prices were not soaring as they should have, President Trump revealed a “secret operation” that answered the question. Under Tehran’s nose, the U.S. military released millions of barrels of oil and hundreds of tankers, leading Trump to declare: “America controls the strait.” This is how Iran lost the only strategic tool it had.

One of the biggest unanswered questions of recent times was how, in the midst of a war over the world’s most important oil passage, the Strait of Hormuz, the price of a barrel of oil did not rise above the $90 mark. Last night (Wednesday), U.S. President Donald Trump solved the mystery: the U.S. carried out a secret operation in which it extracted a massive amount of oil and freed hundreds of tankers that had been stranded under the Iranian blockade.

In a secret operation under Tehran’s nose, the United States released more than 100 million barrels of oil from the besieged Hormuz, in addition to another 200 tankers with thousands of crew members who had been stuck there since March. Meanwhile, Trump declared last night, “America controls the strait, the Iranians are finished,” thereby turning the blockade into a one-sided affair. The economic squeeze on Iran is now tightening, alongside the loss of hundreds of millions each day and crippling sanctions. Now, the Iranians are losing the only strategic tool they had, terror control over the world’s most important oil passage. As noted, this is another step toward defeating the terror regime.

Huge political gain

The price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States, which reached a peak of $4.56 per gallon in May, has now fallen to just $4.12. That is still high compared to before the war, but the trend is continuing, so Trump and the Republicans can probably be calm heading into the midterm elections in November. In addition, President Trump today revived from the basement the idea of taking over the island of Kharg. There is still no guarantee that it will happen, but as we all already know, such a move is a death blow to Iran, and an astronomical diplomatic and economic victory for the United States of America.
