The United States has not escorted any oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.⁣ ⁣ Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Leavitt addressed questions about a now-deleted post by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright on X. In the post, Wright claimed the US Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the strategic waterway ‘to ensure oil remains flowing to global markets.’⁣ ⁣ The brief post quickly drew global attention amid ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. It was later removed.⁣ ⁣ The confusion also triggered volatility in global oil markets.⁣ ⁣ #iran #us #usa #hormuz #wright
