U.S. Seizes Tanker Linked to Venezuela and Iran's Sanction Violations

The United States has seized an oil tanker named 'Skipper' off the coast of Venezuela. This vessel was reportedly part of an illegal network transporting oil from Venezuela and Iran, violating international sanctions.

The U.S. Attorney General confirmed that the tanker was involved in prohibited oil trade, having previously been sanctioned for its dealings with Iran. This action has further escalated tensions between Washington and Caracas.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has conducted an attack on a Russian-linked tanker, 'Dashan,' in the Black Sea using unmanned suicide boats. This vessel, also under international sanctions, suffered significant damage.

These incidents underscore the ongoing geopolitical strife involving the U.S., Venezuela, and Ukraine, highlighting the broader conflict dynamics in these regions.
