CENTCOM: 1 Billion Barrels Escorted Through Hormuz, Iran Exports Zero
⚓ HORMUZ — The US is moving everyone else's oil while Iran moves none of its own. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Cooper's figures reframe the blockade: Washington has built a protected corridor for allied crude while simultaneously enforcing a zero-export chokehold on Iran. Tehran loses oil revenue as Brent stays above $105 — domestic price pain the Interior Ministry just admitted publicly. But 2,000 escorted vessels means CENTCOM is fully committed, leaving little surge capacity elsewhere.
