A US Energy Secretary’s claim of escorting an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz was swiftly deleted and corrected by the White House, stating no such escort occurred. This caused market jitters, with oil prices fluctuating. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also refuted the assertion, calling it false. The Strait remains a focal point of regional tensions.
