What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Abolfazl Shekarchi, senior spokesman for Iran's armed forces, rejected claims by United States Central Command that U.S. forces supported the transport of over 1 billion barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Shekarchi described the claim as "false and ridiculous" and stressed that the initiative in the Strait remained in the hands of Iran's armed forces. Admiral Brad Cooper countered that U.S. forces assisted over 2,000 commercial ship transits and stated that Iran had exported zero barrels due to the blockade.
