The US is using an Iranian smuggling tactic to sneak oil out of the Gulf

The US military is secretly guiding oil tankers through the Gulf of Oman. This operation uses drones and helicopters to facilitate ship-to-ship transfers. The goal is to keep energy exports flowing despite regional tensions. At least 116 ships have been involved since May. This method mirrors tactics used by Iran to bypass sanctions. The transfers occur near Fujairah and Sohar.
