Description

U.S. forces seize oil tanker off Venezuela, escalating pressure on Maduros government. The tanker, identified as the Skipper, was part of a dark fleet and sanctioned by the U.S. for carrying Venezuelan oil exports. The operation involved multiple agencies and was reportedly approved by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Venezuela condemned the action as an act of international piracy and a grave crime, while President Maduro urged peace and compared the U.S. to high seas criminals.
