President Donald Trump announced that approximately 18 million barrels of oil, about 90% of the daily average before the conflict, are now transiting the waterway. This increase follows recent U.S. retaliatory strikes against Iran after its attempts to attack American military and commercial vessels. <\/p>\n<p>Despite security measures like military escort and a designated shipping corridor, some tankers were attacked. U.S. officials and analysts note that Iran&#8217;s influence in disrupting oil flows is diminishing, with energy Secretary Chris Wright highlighting that over 17 million barrels moved through the strait last week, a record sence February. President Trump declared Iran a &#8220;failed nation,&#8221; citing its lack of military and economic stability, as inflation skyrockets to 300%.The overall message suggests Iran is losing its leverage in controlling international oil shipments through the region.  <\/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>The amount of oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz is now approaching the levels seen at the outset of the conflict with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump revealed that 18 million barrels of oil \u2014 roughly 90 percent the daily average before the war \u2014 is now passing through the waterway, according to a Sept. 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/article_a7505384-b7e8-493a-977c-d1b42f8971eb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from The Center Square.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few days before the announcement, the United States carried out retaliatory strikes after Iran tried attacking American military bases and commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by journalist Eric Daugherty, CNN was \u201cforced to report\u201d on the news.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: CNN has been forced to report the stunning reality, the US military escorted 40 ships carrying 18 MILLION barrels of oil through Hormuz<\/p>\n<p>90% of PRE-WAR flows \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p>This is amazing news.<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine once the bypass PIPELINES ramp up and Iran is even weaker\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TpUcAyfeCO\">pic.twitter.com\/TpUcAyfeCO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricLDaugh\/status\/2095468750321381767?\">September 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that 17 million barrels of oil moved through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday of last week, marking a new record since February.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is no longer able to \u201chold\u201d the world economy \u201chostage\u201d as easily, Wright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/09\/02\/energy-secretary-chris-wright-tells-cnbc-that-more-than-17-million-barrels-of-oil-transited-hormuz-on-monday.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. military assets are helping oil tankers traverse the waterway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith or without Iran, oil and gas will flow out of the Arabian Gulf region and it\u2019s happening,\u201d Wright added.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has established a shipping corridor along the coast of Oman, with the passage largely benefiting Gulf allies.<\/p>\n<p>The ships often move at night and turn off their transponders to decrease the odds of an attack.<\/p>\n<p>But even with the precautions, two tankers came under attack this week, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cThe US <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >military escorted 40 commercial vessels carrying 18 million barrels<\/a> of oil through the Strait of Hormuz\u2026 Prior to the launch of the war just over six months ago, roughly 20 million barrels a day were passing through the strait.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nNaKt9GhC4\">https:\/\/t.co\/nNaKt9GhC4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RapidResponse47\/status\/2095464874662941020?\">September 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trump pointed to the rise in successful oil shipments as an indication that Iran is losing the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran is officially a failed nation.
