US says it helped export 1.5 billion barrels of oil via Hormuz

US Central Command said its forces had helped Gulf nations export over 1.5 billion barrels of crude through the Strait of Hormuz since summer, without specifying a start date. At the pre-war rate of 20 million barrels daily, the volume equals about 75 days of traffic. Kpler said 40% of Gulf crude now bypasses the strait.
