US Intercepts Venezuelan Oil Tanker
Update: 2026-01-06
Description
The United States is set to intercept a sanctioned oil tanker, claimed by Russia, as part of a blockade on Venezuelas oil exports. The tanker, originally named Bella one, was penalized for smuggling oil. This comes after more than a dozen other sanctioned tankers fled Venezuelan waters, using deceptive tactics to evade the blockade. The tankers, loaded with crude and fuel, were contracted by US-sanctioned oil traders linked to Maduros regime. The US has seized three similar tankers, and the blockade has stalled exports and forced production cuts. The situation highlights the high stakes for Venezuelas transition and the USs determination to prevent Venezuelan crude from slipping through.
