Donald Trump’s dramatic Oval Office boast about a covert nighttime operation sneaking oil out from under Iran’s nose turned out to be anything but secret.

The president made the claim Wednesday morning, telling reporters he had been quietly steering oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz—and that Iran was only finding out about it at that very moment.

“I can say it now.

Nobody knows it.

You know who doesn’t know about it?

Iran — until right now.”
