The commander of US Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper, said American forces have supported the transit of more than 1 billion barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

Cooper said US forces have assisted more than 2,000 commercial vessel transits through the strategic waterway, which serves as one of the world's most important routes for oil shipments.

The Strait of Hormuz, situated between Iran and Oman, connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. A significant share of the world's seaborne oil exports passes through the narrow channel, making it a focal point for global energy security concerns.

Further details on the timeframe of the reported transits and the specific nature of US military involvement were not immediately available in the source material.
