Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific superlative claim about oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz being at an all-time historical high — verifiable against shipping and energy data.
What we foundOil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz at the time of the debate was far below historical highs, not at a record; the EIA shows the peak was 21.9 million barrels per day in 2022, and current wartime flows are estimated at roughly 13 million barrels per day.
