- The US took control of the oil tanker Skipper off Venezuela’s coast in international waters, marking the largest tanker seizure ever.
- The vessel was involved in illicit oil shipping supporting sanctioned countries and terrorist groups, leading to a federal seizure warrant.
- The operation involved FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Coast Guard, supported by the Department of Defense, and was incident-free.
- Venezuela condemned the seizure as an act of piracy and plans to challenge it through international organizations.
The true reasons for the prolonged aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed. It is not migration. It is not drug trafficking. It is not democracy. It is not human rights. It has always been about our natural wealth, our oil, our energy, the resources that belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people.— The Venezuelan government issued this statement in response to the seizure of the oil tanker.
