💨 Abstract

The U.S. seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker, previously known as the Bella-1, after a two-week pursuit across the Atlantic. The tanker, now named Marinera, had evaded a U.S. maritime blockade in the Caribbean. The operation, involving the U.S. Coast Guard and military, occurred near Iceland with Russian military vessels, including a submarine, nearby. The seizure is part of the U.S.'s ongoing efforts to block Venezuelan oil exports.
