(WND)—During a signing ceremony Wednesday for the Secure America Act, President Donald Trump revealed a “secret mission” to deliver millions of barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, even as the U.S. military blockade continues amid the conflict with Iran.
“I can say it now,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Do you know we’ve been taking millions of barrels of oil?
“Nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran, until right now!
“We took out the other night 22 ships, late at night with no lights ’cause they don’t have any radar ’cause we blasted the crap out of it. That’s why oil is $85 a barrel.”

In a follow-up post on Truth Social, the president provided more details, indicating: “Last month, I directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market. More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait.
“This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz – NOT Iran. Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Earlier Wednesday, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump said Iran has “taken too long to negotiate” a peace deal, adding “now they will have to pay the price!”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump indicated: “Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore – They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!
“They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!”
In another post, Trump said: “The Fake News Media refuses to report how EFFECTIVE the U.S. Naval BLOCKADE is, the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare. NOTHING GETS THROUGH unless we want it to. IT IS A STEEL WALL!
“Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out.”
Trump then trolled the leaders of the Islamic Republic by signing out, “Praise be to Allah!”
The president also provided more details about a U.S. Army helicopter crash caused by an Iranian drone Monday, as Trey Yingst of Fox News said trump told him it was “a miracle”: “The Iranian drone lodged in between the two pilots in this helicopter. They were flying very low. And at that point, the drone didn’t explode as it had intended to.
“And so these pilots were trying to take down the helicopter with the drone lodged into this gunship without it exploding and at any moment, it could have exploded.
“He said it was on fire, there was a lot of heat inside the cockpit of this helicopter. And ultimately these two pilots were able to take it down into the sea where ultimately they were rescued for the first time in U.S. military history by an unmanned sea drone.”
