US President Donald Trump claimed that millions of barrels of Iranian oil have been removed from global markets through actions taken by his administration. Speaking publicly on the issue, Trump said he had kept the operation quiet until Iran became aware of it. He argued that reducing Iranian oil exports helped prevent a dramatic spike in global energy prices, claiming oil could have reached as high as $250 per barrel. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, with energy markets and sanctions policy remaining key factors in the broader geopolitical and economic landscape.
