US CENTCOM was able to get 20mln oil barrels through Hormuz, exactly the number of Barrels going through the Straits before the war, reports Jerusalem Post citing sources

Strait of Hormuz throughput is the single largest chokepoint variable in the crude complex, and the distinction that matters here is between physical flow restored and risk retired: in past Gulf disruptions, flat price has tended to shed its war premium well before insurance rates, freight, and transit times normalise, because barrels moving again removes the tail that the premium was pricing. Reports of this kind, sourced through regional media citing unnamed officials, have historically preceded formal confirmation by some interval, and the verification sequence is usually tanker tracking data and loading programmes rather than official statements. The figure cited is framed as matching pre-conflict volumes, which if borne out in vessel data would mark a return to baseline supply rather than a net addition, a distinction that has mattered in prior episodes where the market sold off on the headline and then stabilised once the ceiling of restored flows became clear. Worth watching is whether war-risk premiums on Gulf loadings reprice in line, whether OPEC members with Hormuz-dependent exports adjust allocations, and whether any residual disruption to insurance or escort arrangements keeps delivered costs elevated even as volumes recover. As a single-source report, it sits in the category of claims that have both been borne out and walked back in comparable conflicts.
