The United States is reportedly bypassing Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz through a clandestine operation involving at least 92 oil tankers. Utilizing drones, helicopters, and deactivated transponders, these vessels have secretly transported approximately 90 million barrels of oil. This strategy mirrors tactics previously employed by Iran itself to conceal oil shipments. The operation aims to maintain the flow of oil despite heightened tensions and Iranian attempts to restrict passage through the vital waterway. Sources indicate a high degree of secrecy surrounding the shipments, designed to avoid direct confrontation. This covert approach allows the US to challenge Iran’s control without escalating the conflict openly. The success of this operation highlights a shift in tactics regarding oil transport in the region.
