US energy secretary deletes post about Navy escorting vessel through Strait of Hormuz US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright on Tuesday deleted a post on X which had said the US Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian threats to attack vessels passing through the narrow waterway. "President Trump is maintaining stability of global energy during the military operations against Iran," Wright wrote on X. “The U.S. Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing to global markets.” Within minutes, the post was deleted. It remains unclear why Wright deleted the post.
