US finds ‘secret route’ in and out of Strait of Hormuz; How is Trump keeping oil flowing?

US conducts stealth operation through Hormuz to keep oil exports going
US quietly finds shipping corridor in and out of Strait of Hormuz
While Oman and Iran are currently negotiating over the opening of the critical Strait of Hormuz, United States President Donald Trump has quietly established a shipping corridor that allows millions of barrels of oil to flow freely every day. According to a report by Axios, the US military has disclosed this corridor in and around the strategic maritime route.
How US keep exports going?
The operation, which was quietly underway for several weeks, marks a significant breakthrough in terms of oil supplies. The report stated that around 15 to 20 tankers have entered and exited Hormuz every night via a southern channel near the Oman coast. Surprisingly, approximately 10 million barrels of oil are being transported out of the strait daily. This oil is reaching the global market, mitigating challenges such as oil shortages and inflation.
Despite the oil volumes still being below pre-war levels, the global supply shortfall is evident, as supply disruptions are sending crude prices soaring. The operation extends beyond just protecting the outbound tankers carrying massive amounts of oil. The US military is also escorting empty tankers from the Arabian Sea to enter the Gulf through the strait. There, they refuel and then exit, the report added.
“The United States has been controlling the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz for the past two months now. The IRGC can be a nuisance, but they don’t control the strait. We do,” a US official told Axios.
How is it working? The task force, which operates from Army Headquarters in North Carolina’s Fort Bragg, is coordinating with regional Gulf partners.
A daily list of rented empty vessels entering and loaded ships exiting the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz is compiled. Every night, all outgoing vessels leave together at a certain time, and those coming in at a separate time.
The US Air Force’s fighter jets protect against cruise missiles and drones launched by Iran. The operation was made possible following a 2-week military campaign by CENTCOM that significantly damaged Tehran’s radar and maritime surveillance systems, American officials said.-
Now, Iran is left with only a few radars and spotters in small boats, the US official added. This has resulted in Iranians firing drones and missiles indiscriminately. While most attacks are intercepted, some vessels were hit. ..."
"...Iran losing control of Strait of Hormuz? Why are over 80% of ships shifting to Omani route? New data reveals shocking details
The shift suggests Tehran may no longer have the same power to control the traffic bypassing the strait as it earlier had in the conflict. It also indicates that ships are now willing to challenge Iran's control of the preferred route while relying on protection from US naval forces...."
"... Traffic in Strait of Hormuz skyrockets nearly 400%, as analysts say Iran’s grip on critical waterway weakens
Iran appears to be losing its grip on the Strait of Hormuz while traffic through the critical waterway has exploded by nearly 400% over the last two weeks — as ships increasingly use a US-backed corridor to cross.
Nearly 200 ships navigated the strait last week, up from 150 the previous week and just 40 two weeks earlier, according to data from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center...."
U.S. conducting stealth operation to transport oil through Hormuz
The U.S. military has quietly established a shipping corridor in and out of the Strait of Hormuz to transport millions of barrels of oil each day — a notable success even as the broader war remains at a stalemate, two U.S. officials told Axios.
Under the operation, which has been underway for the last several weeks, 15–20 tankers have entered and exited the strait each night through a southern channel along the coast of Oman.
About 10 million barrels of oil a day — roughly half the pre-war volume — are being transported out of the strait and injected into the global energy market, the officials said.
Why it matters: The U.S.-led operation is mitigating one of the most painful aspects of the war: the disruption to oil supplies that sent crude prices soaring. While the amount of oil coming out of the strait is still below pre-war levels, it is making a discernible difference in global supplies, officials say.
How it works: The effort goes beyond escorting outbound tankers with oil on board. The U.S. military is helping empty tankers enter the Gulf from the Arabian Sea through the strait, pick up oil from countries in the region, and then exit.
The full details of the operation have not been previously reported.
"We have been controlling the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz for two months now. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps can be a nuisance, but they don't control the strait. We do," one of the U.S. officials, who has direct knowledge of the matter, said.
Behind the scenes: The task force overseeing the Hormuz effort is being run out of the Army headquarters in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The task force is coordinating with regional Gulf partners. It creates a daily list of ships coming out of the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz and into the Arabian Sea, as well as a list of rented empty tankers that travel from the Arabian Sea, through the strait and into the ports of Gulf countries to pick up more oil.
Each night, the ships are scheduled to move in one big outbound line during a certain time slot and one big inbound line during a separate time slot.
The ships then transit through the southern channel based on U.S. military guidance.
The U.S. Air Force has fighter jets that protect against Iranian cruise missiles and drones.
Zoom in: The operation was made possible by a recent two-week U.S. Central Command military campaign that degraded Iran's radar and maritime surveillance systems, the officials said.
Iran has diminished visibility of the traffic in the southern channel of the strait. Its monitoring is limited to a few radars it managed to reconstitute as well as "spotters" in small IRGC fast boats, U.S. officials say.
Because the Iranians are mostly "blind," they are launching drones and cruise missiles in the general direction of where ships might be transiting.
Some ships have been hit by the Iranian attacks, but many were stopped by the U.S. military. Earlier this week, for example, U.S. forces shot down eight Iranian drones and two cruise missiles, one of the U.S. officials said.
State of play: U.S. officials say that over the past two weeks, 15–20 tankers transited in and out of the Strait of Hormuz each night through the southern channel, keeping the exports going.
The average daily exports have been growing and are now close to 10 million barrels, U.S. officials say.
On some nights over the last few weeks, they note, the amount of oil moving out of the Gulf was 15 million–20 million barrels.
On one of the nights this week, more than 20 ships were slated to move in and out of the strait through the southern lane, with approximately 15 million barrels of oil potentially coming out, one of the officials said.
What he's saying: "There is a tremendous amount of oil coming out of the Strait of Hormuz," President Trump told Axios on Wednesday.
He said the U.S. is not negotiating with Iran at the moment. "They are wasting time. It's a waste of time to negotiate with them," he said.
"The Iranians still have some fight left, but overall they are a shell of themselves," Trump said.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to clarify that 15–20 tankers have entered and exited the strait each night. And from the ALL TIME LYING 'news'. er PROPAGANDA. (chicken noodle news) "... Iran has lost significant control of the Strait of Hormuz

Vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, August
The battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz has become the focal point of the Iran war. Over the past several months, both Iran and the United States have claimed the upper hand – and the competing rhetoric has caused considerable confusion and doubt.
At the moment, however, the evidence is clear: The United States, patrolling the strait with its navy, is gaining ground – and Iran is losing much of its control of the critical waterway.
More than 80% of liquids transits through the Strait of Hormuz over the past two weeks have taken the Omani route – a UN-authorized shipping channel that Iran vehemently opposes – or have been “dark” transits that likely took the Omani route, according to Kpler, which tracks ships using transponders and satellite data. .."
HOWEVER, according to NEADELES !!!!!!!!! This info from MANY sights, is a LIE. (Which Neadels knows a great deal about how to LIE)((( Unless the GOAL is to raise the Post Count,
So MORE Money can be made for adds.
WOW, SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE CAPITALISM )))
