Britain assisted the U.S. in seizing a Russian-flagged oil tanker, the Bella-1 (renamed Marinera), in the North Atlantic. The tanker is linked to Russian and Iranian sanctions evasion. British armed forces provided operational support, including basing and surveillance, in compliance with international law. The operation aimed to combat sanctions busting.
