#SOUTHCOM said #Marines & sailors launched from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford to take part in the operation alongside a #USCG tactical team, which Noem said conducted the boarding as in previous raids. The #military said the ship was seized “without incident.”

#US seizes sixth sanctioned #OilTanker it says has ties to #Venezuela in #Trump's effort to “control” [steal] its #oil

The #USCG boarded the tanker, named Veronica, early Thursday, #DHS Secy #KristiNoem wrote on social media. The ship had previously passed through Venezuelan waters & was operating in defiance of Trump’s “established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean,” she claimed.

@patcharcana #USCG are acting as #cops at sea tho...

• Granted, they and #HellenicCoastguard and #LYCG are the exception of norm...

But yeah, unlike #Police, #Firefighters and #EMS actually get trained to #deescalate and #communicate with people in distress!

In the first attack on a speedboat in September 2025, Trump and Hegseth used a military plane made up to look civilian. That’s a war crime called “perfidy”. (Free link)

Cambio de Bandera en alta mar

El cambio de bandera es un acto jurídico-administrativo, no solo un gesto simbólico. La necesidad de seguridad jurídica, la entrega de documentos físicos y las inspecciones técnicas obligan a que este proceso se realice en la seguridad de un puerto o fondeadero. Realizarlo en alta mar no solo es logísticamente complejo, sino que expone al armador a sanciones internacio

…#Navy officials couldn’t immediately provide details about whether the #CoastGuard was part of the force that took control of the vessel as has been the case in the previous seizures — & has been #Trump’s cover as he continues to claim these are law enforcement operations & not a #war. A spox for the #USCG said there was no immediate comment on the seizure.

#RT, the #Russia state-owned broadcaster, published images of a helicopter approaching the Russian-flagged #OilTanker being pursued by the #USCG & said it appeared US forces were attempting to board.

#China on Wednesday said that US claims on Venezuela’s #oil were “a classic act of bullying.” Mao Ning, a spox for China’s foreign ministry, said #Venezuela has “full & permanent #sovereignty over its #NaturalResources & all #economic activities.”
