In comments to reporters and a social media post, he says the operation removed \u201cmillions of barrels\u201d of oil and helped over 200 ships safely pass, resulting in more than 100 million barrels of oil reaching the open market. Trump further links this to oil prices being around $85-$90 per barrel rather than $250, and he argues the U.S. controls the strait-asserting Iran was not able to interfere.He also praises the U.S. military as superior and claims the effort has weakened Iran\u2019s position, calling the situation \u201cover for Iran.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump made a bombshell claim while speaking to reporters inside the White House on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the president announced a U.S. military operation that had moved \u201cmillions of barrels\u201d of oil carried by commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial waterway of the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also made the announcement in a post on the  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I can say it now, something you didn\u2019t know,\u201d Trump said in the Oval Office. \u201cDid you know we\u2019ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil?
