US military escorts double Gulf oil shipments

Original: US helps double oil volume exiting the Gulf, with the military now guiding ships in broad daylight

The United States is helping double the volume of oil leaving the Gulf, with the US military now guiding tanker ships through the strait in broad daylight rather than under cover of night. The move signals a more open, coordinated approach to securing one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, reassuring shippers and markets that traffic can flow despite regional tensions.

Why now: Escalating regional tensions have raised fears for Gulf oil shipping, making the US military's visible escort role major news.
