- Six Russian-flagged vessels on the sanctions list abruptly changed direction following the UK’s seizure of the tanker Smyrtos in the English Channel.
- The six-hour operation involved Royal Marine commandos and National Crime Agency officers boarding the Smyrtos, which held oil valued at £45 million.
- The mission aimed to disrupt Russia’s oil revenue stream, estimated at £654 billion since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
- Shadow fleet tankers use opaque ownership and flags of convenience, raising concerns about maritime safety and environmental hazards in the busy Channel waters.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fuelling Putin’s war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.— Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the UK Labour Party, said this after Britain's operation against the shadow fleet in UK waters.

- The French navy, assisted by Britain, stopped and inspected an oil tanker originating from Russia in the Atlantic.
- The vessel is part of Russia's shadow fleet, which consists of 800 to 1000 often outdated ships evading sanctions.
- Russia condemned the seizure as unlawful and threatened to deploy warships to defend its commercial fleet.
- The EU has imposed sanctions on the shadow fleet to hinder funding for Russia’s war against Ukraine.
It is unacceptable that ships circumvent international sanctions, violate international law, and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four years.— Emmanuel Macron, French President, on X, about the seizure of the Russia-bound oil tanker Tagor in the Atlantic

Key FactsUS Naval Blockade Halts Iran’s Maritime Trade

- The US naval blockade halted nearly all of Tehran's maritime economic activity in under 36 hours.
- Advanced surveillance systems enable enforcement from a distance, eliminating the need for ships to be stationed inside the Persian Gulf.
- The blockade lacks a fixed geographic boundary, allowing interception of vessels on international waters before reaching their destinations.
- Iran’s naval forces are limited in responding effectively beyond confined waters due to the design of their small attack boats.
An estimated 90% of Iran's economy is fueled by international trade by sea. In less than 36 hours since the blockade was implemented, US forces have completely halted all economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.— Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a statement on social media.
