DEVELOPING: TRUMP NOT DELUSIONAL ON STRAIT BEING OPEN 15-20 TANKERS PROTECTED BY US F-16s TRANSITING DAILY
[AUGUST 20, 2026 (11:30 AM PDT)]
Several stories I have picked-up on this morning which have not peculated into the MSM, critical thinkers,
First, while most have been weighing-in on Trump's repeated claims that the Strait of Hormuz was open and tankers flowing through as "delusional," AXIOS has posted this story:
US CONDUCTING STEALTH OPERATION TO TRANSPORT OIL THROUGH HORMUZ
Under the operation, which has been underway for the last several weeks, 15–20 tankers have entered and exited the strait each night through a southern channel along the coast of Oman. About 10 million barrels of oil a day — roughly half the pre-war volume — are being transported out of the strait and injected into the global energy market, the officials said.
The task force is coordinating with regional Gulf partners. It creates a daily list of ships coming out of the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz and into the Arabian Sea, as well as a list of rented empty tankers that travel from the Arabian Sea, through the strait and into the ports of Gulf countries to pick up more oil. Each night, the ships are scheduled to move in one big outbound line during a certain time slot and one big inbound line during a separate time slot. The ships then transit through the southern channel based on U.S. military guidance. The U.S. Air Force has fighter jets that protect against Iranian cruise missiles and drones.
So, this is a pretty big story, yet not getting much coverage; apparently, the operation has been ongoing and the administration has been keeping it on the down-low.

This is the other story which ties to repeated airborne drone incursions in Romania and Poland--seems US & NATO Fighters are operating extremely close to Russian airspace.
