DEVELOPING: US Seizes Third Venezuela-Linked Oil Tanker Amid Global Tensions

Breaking News: US Seizes Third Venezuela-Linked Oil Tanker Amid Global Tensions The US Coast Guard is in active pursuit of a third oil tanker linked to Venezuela, a US official confirmed. The tanker, flying a false flag, is under a judicial seizure order for its involvement in Venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion. The US has already seized two oil tankers this month, with the latest one seized on Saturday. The pursuit is related to a sanctioned dark fleet vessel, according to the US official. The US has accused Venezuela of using oil money to fund drug-related crime, while Venezuela has described the tanker seizures as "theft and kidnapping." The Trump administration has ordered a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving the country. Venezuela, home to the world's largest proven oil reserves, has accused the US of trying to steal its resources. The exact location and name of the tanker involved in Sunday's pursuit are not yet known. As of last week, more than 30 of the 80 sanctioned oil tankers have been targeted by the US. The situation remains tense, with the US and Venezuela engaged in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
