Trump alleges US extracted 100 million barrels of oil from Hormuz

11 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

The article investigates former President Trump's claim that the US secretly exported 100 million barrels of oil from the Strait of Hormuz. While it acknowledges that some oil may have been transported, the calculations supporting Trump's assertion do not seem to be accurate.
The analysis suggests that the scale of such an operation raises questions about feasibility and logistics.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, making it a focal point for geopolitical tensions. The US has historically engaged in various strategies to influence oil flow in the region, and claims like Trump's can affect market perceptions and political discourse.
This claim by Trump reflects a broader narrative about energy independence and geopolitical maneuvering. However, the discrepancies in the math highlight the challenges of verifying such large-scale operations.
