“We have more oil coming out of the whole month straight today than they did a year ago”
TRUE
What the record shows
US crude oil production averaged 13,948 thousand barrels per day in July 2026 (EIA), compared to Iran's 3.25 million bpd in September 2025 and 4.13 million bpd in October 2025 (OPEC).
US oil output is 3.4-4.3 times higher than Iran's production a year ago. The claim is factually accurate.
