U.S. Seizes Oil Tanker, Targets Shadowy Fleet
U.S. commandos seize oil tanker near Venezuela, highlighting growing concern about shadowy ships. The Skipper, a large oil tanker, was taken by commandos from helicopters, far from its tracked location. This escalation targets Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduros oil revenues, part of a broader campaign against flagless, stateless tankers used for smuggling oil. The Skipper had a history of suspicious activity, including sanctions and links to Iran and Russia. The seizure sends a message to those involved in illicit oil trade.
