It is also facilitating the movement of empty tankers from the Arabian Sea into the Gulf, allowing them to load oil at regional ports before returning through the strait.""The US military has established a shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz that is allowing millions of barrels of oil to reach global markets despite the ongoing conflict with Iran, two US officials told Axios on Wednesday."
"The operation has been running for several weeks, with approximately 15 to 20 tankers traveling through the southern channel of the strait each night along Oman's coast. US officials estimate that nearly 10 million barrels of oil per day, about half the pre-war volume, are now leaving the strait."
