CENTCOM: 1 Billion Barrels Move Through Hormuz — ‘Ironclad Blockade’ Holds Iran to Zero

Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, announced Saturday that U.S. forces supported the passage of more than one billion barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz in recent months while Iran exported no oil during the same period. Cooper attributed Iran's zero exports to what he described as a blockade maintained by Washington. CENTCOM did not provide specific dates for the one-billion-barrel figure or details on enforcement mechanisms.
