Monday was our record ever since the conflict began.

Over 17 million barrels of oil flowed through the Strait of Hormuz on ships on Monday.

If you add the bypass export pipelines, more than left the region in the pre-conflict.

So is Iran trying to challenge that?

Yes.

Are there challenges?

Yes.

But this is the United States Navy and President Trump taking the one card out of Iran's hands, which is to try to hold the world economic hostage.

There's flow through two routes through the Strait of Hormuz.

There's up near the Iranian islands that's flowed complicit with Iran, but that's not nothing.

And then there's flow through the southern route that's protected by American infrastructure.

And we count the volume of oil that goes through.

The ship numbers are down more dramatically.

But of course, we're flowing larger tankers now to keep the world markets as well supplied as we can.
