Data Contradicts Trump Claims on Strait Oil Flows, Shows Half Reported Volume
Mario Nawfal Interviews
BREAKING: NETANYAHU REQUESTS FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH TRUMP SOON - w/ Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson
What was said
"Kpler estimates approximately 5 million barrels of oil are exiting the strait daily on average in June. This is half of the US official's 10 million barrels per day claim, and just one quarter of the roughly 20 million barrels per day that transited the strait before the war."
Maritime tracking firm Kpler's verified data shows only 34-48 vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz over recent days, far below the pre-war average of 125-140 daily crossings. The data directly contradicts Trump administration claims that oil flows have surpassed 10 million barrels per day. Economist analysis suggests refineries are paying $115-120 per barrel for Persian Gulf crude based on their retail margins, despite official spot prices showing lower figures.
