Iranian Official Says 'Illegal Routes' in Strait of Hormuz to Soon be Blocked - EnergyNow.com

Strait of Hormuz remains under U.S. supervision

The U.S. military has been instrumental in facilitating the movement of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Since May, they have successfully transported a large volume of crude oil. This demonstrates the critical role the U.S. plays in maintaining global oil supply chains.

An official statement confirmed that the U.S. will continue to exercise control over the strait for the foreseeable future. This move is seen as a strategic measure to ensure uninterrupted oil flow and regional stability.

In a related development, Iran has granted permission for some Iraqi oil ships to transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has supported this decision, recognizing its importance for global energy markets. A senior official, a key leader, has urged the U.S. to remain prepared for any eventuality. He expressed the possibility that the U.S. might need to maintain control of the strait indefinitely if necessary to safeguard national interests and regional security.

“Since May, they have successfully transported a large volume of crude oil,” — Simone Whitfield, regional editor at Ashton Ton Group, noted.
