The brief
The U.S. is conducting a stealth operation to transport oil through the Strait of Hormuz. This follows a period of unchanged shipping patterns in the strait, despite the ongoing U.S.-Iran stalemate. Iran has lost significant control of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Yahoo News Singapore.
However, CNN coverage suggests that Iran may still hold strategic advantages in the region, complicating the U.S. efforts to squeeze Iran's economy and oil sales. The U.S. operation is not yet publicly detailed. The U.S. and Iran are in a stalemate.
Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz is diminished but not eliminated.
