OSINTdefender reported that CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper said the U.S. naval blockade had denied Iran at least $25 billion in oil revenue and that, apart from humanitarian assistance, Iran had no imports or exports by sea. The post also attributes to Cooper about 400 Strait of Hormuz transits in seven days, U.S. help moving more than 100 million barrels for Gulf partners, about $350 million in Iranian cryptocurrency frozen, and more than 20 civilian mariners killed by Iranian attacks on shipping since February. These are claims in one X post; the post does not date the briefing.

Evidence: OSINTdefender’s written summary of Admiral Cooper’s CENTCOM update

The only attached document is OSINTdefender’s X post summarizing a CENTCOM update. No official transcript or video is attached or directly read, so the figures—including the revenue impact and cumulative mariner deaths—remain attributed claims and are not independently verified here.
