Two US officials revealed to Axios that the US military has quietly built a shipping channel in and out of the Strait of Hormuz, which can transport millions of barrels of oil every day. Although widespread fighting is still at a standstill, the operation has achieved remarkable results. The operation has been ongoing for weeks, and a total of 15 to 20 tankers have entered and left the strait along the southern waterway off the coast of Oman. Officials say about 10 million barrels of oil are shipped out of the strait every day to flow into the global energy market, which is about half of the pre-war volume. Officials said that the operation came to fruition thanks to a recent two-week military operation by the US Central Command, which weakened Iran's radar and maritime surveillance systems.
