US protects strategic Strait oil route

American forces succeeded in securing the passage of 40 commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, carrying approximately 18 million barrels of oil, marking the highest daily volume since the escalation with Iran began over six months ago. The operation took place under complex security conditions, utilizing an integrated military system—air, naval, and space—to prevent attacks by Iranian drones and cruise missiles, targeting nearly 60 Iranian military sites. These measures are part of a broader American strategy to control the strait and impose a naval blockade on Iran, with a limited focus on destroying parts of the enriched uranium stockpile. Although some oil flows have been restored, shipping and insurance companies remain concerned about the high risks, leading to significant increases in transportation and insurance costs. Tankers often disable tracking devices to avoid Iranian targeting, amid broader regional support to ensure the safety of global energy transit.
