U.S. Energy Secretary Frank Wright has taken full responsibility for an erroneous Twitter post that claimed the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The post, which was later deleted, caused significant volatility in the oil market. Wright has committed to personally reviewing future posts to prevent similar incidents.
White House Press Secretary Robert Levitt clarified that the U.S. did not escort any ships, contradicting Wright's initial tweet. Wright further stated that while the U.S. Navy is currently unable to provide escorts in the Strait of Hormuz, it is likely that such measures could be implemented by the end of the month.
