Reuters reported that the U.S. military has been secretly moving oil and fuel in the Persian Gulf since early May, using ship-to-ship transfers and other covert methods to evade Iran’s de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The operation involved at least 92 vessels, may have moved about 90 million barrels, and was exposed after an Apache helicopter tied to the mission was shot down by Iran on June 9.
