We've been taking out millions of barrels of oil....Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now - Trump

"Donald Trump suggested he had been taking 'millions of barrels of oil' out of the Strait of Hormuz, as he spoke with reporters at the White House on Wednesday. "I can say it now, something you didn't know. Do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now. We took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it," he said. "That's why oil is $85 a barrel." "Every night we took out oil. But now I'm going to tell you because they just figured it out. So now that they figured it out, I can tell you. It was very hard for me. I wanted to say it so badly, but I didn't want to ruin it," he added. Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz to 'unfriendly' ships while the US has blockaded Iran's ports amid the ongoing standoff. Earlier, Trump posted that Iran had "taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!" Tehran said it would "need to assess the situation" after the US launched fresh strikes. Trump claimed Iran 'shot down' an Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, with the US saying it hit an Iranian drone. Iran struck back at targets across the Middle East. "
