đź’¨ Abstract
The U.S. is attempting to seize a Venezuela-linked oil tanker, the Marinera, after a two-week pursuit. The tanker, originally the Bella-1, evaded a U.S. maritime blockade and Coast Guard boarding attempts. Russian military vessels, including a submarine, were nearby during the operation. This seizure is part of the U.S.'s pressure campaign against Venezuela, with another Venezuela-linked tanker intercepted in Latin American waters.
