Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has questioned why ordinary Americans were still grappling with high gas costs despite President Donald Trump‘s claims of secretly moving oil out of the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iran war.
On Wednesday, Trump took to the social media platform Truth Social to shed light on a “secret mission” the U.S. undertook on his direction to aid the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
The effort resulted in “over 100 million barrels of oil” and “more than 200 commercial ships” passing through the area over the past month, Trump said. “The United States of America controls the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said, adding that the Iranian military is “defeated” and it was “over for Iran!”
