Phil Flynn, Oil Markets, and Strait of Hormuz Operations
Phil Flynn of Fox Business discusses the Trump administration's efforts to move oil through the Strait of Hormuz under the cover of night to stabilize global prices. Satellite imagery reportedly shows tankers bypassing blockades, a move credited with keeping oil prices between $85 and $90 per barrel. The operation is compared to historical military maneuvers, noting that industry insiders were initially kept quiet to ensure mission success.
