CENTCOM Says U.S. Forces Helped Gulf Partners Export More Than 1.5 Billion Barrels

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces helped Gulf partners export more than 1.5 billion barrels of crude oil since summer, reporting a separate milestone for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Oct. 25 announcement came during a visit to the strait by Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander. Cooper flew over the waterway in a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook to observe the operating environment. CENTCOM said more than 3,000 commercial vessels transited the strait with U.S. forces’ support over the previous six months.
