🇺🇸 Surprise, Surprise... Trump lied.

Bloomberg tanker data shows no evidence of the eight oil tankers Trump claimed were in the Strait of Hormuz.

Only two Iran-linked LPG carriers were observed leaving the Persian Gulf on Thursday—likely the “extra two” he mentioned.

While some vessels disable tracking for security reasons, most ships recently transiting Hormuz have kept their signals on.

In total, just four vessels—a pair of bulk carriers, one container ship, and one LPG carrier—were confirmed exiting in recent days.
