The United States announced the destruction of the Iranian navy and a complete blockade of its oil exports, - CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper Admiral Brad Cooper said that the US military continues to monitor the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and enforce the blockade on Iranian ports. During a recent flight through the strait, he said he spotted dozens of commercial ships, including oil tankers and gas carriers, as well as US forces, including naval drones. At the same time, Cooper said that he did not see a single unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the strait. "For decades they have been patrolling the Strait of Hormuz and the surrounding waters, harassing, threatening and seizing commercial vessels at will. But they were not there because the entire Iranian fleet is at the bottom of the sea," the admiral said. Following the destruction of the Iranian navy, the US military also cleared key international shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian naval mines, the CENTCOM commander said. Cooper said the United States has helped Gulf partners export more than 1.5 billion barrels of crude oil since the summer. "In the meantime, we have prevented Iran from exporting a single barrel of oil thanks to an impenetrable blockade of Iran's ports," he emphasized. According to the admiral, more than 50,000 American soldiers are supporting operations in the Middle East. The United States continues to coordinate commercial shipping protection with regional partners and the shipping industry. In conclusion, Cooper thanked the US military for completing their missions and stated that he was proud of their work. Donald Trump in Russian.
