Oil tankers increase ‘dark’ transits through Strait of Hormuz

Trump has directed the US military to safeguard oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz to stabilize oil markets and reduce geopolitical tensions, impacting global energy security and economic stability. Simultaneously, oil tankers are increasing 'dark' transits through the Strait of Hormuz. These risky trips, conducted under US air cover, serve to cushion crude prices, helping to keep them below $100 a barrel amidst the ongoing regional tensions and strategic military oversight.
