Iran calls US claim of 1 billion oil barrels passing through Hormuz 'ridiculous'

Iran rejected US military's claim that over 1 billion barrels of crude oil had passed through the Strait of Hormuz, calling it “false and ridiculous”. US forces said thousands of ships crossed the strait while Iran exported zero barrels due to a US “ironclad blockade”. Iran called the remarks a failed psychological operation to boost morale of exhausted US forces.
