US Forces Seize Another Oil Tanker Linked to Venezuela, Sixth Vessel Confiscated Under US Sanctions
The US military released footage showing troops boarding an oil tanker captured in the Caribbean, with ties to Venezuela. The vessel is part of a shadow fleet of ships seized by the US, allegedly breaching its sanctions.
According to officials, the tankers are smuggling oil to evade US restrictions. The sixth vessel in this "shadow fleet" was intercepted off the coast of Venezuela's main island, Caracas. A US spokesperson stated that the ship had been denied permission to enter the Caribbean and entered illegally.
This is another major operation aimed at enforcing sanctions on the Venezuelan regime. It is the latest in a series of seizures targeting ships suspected of breaking US laws.
