@JMichaelWaller rump seized a "Venezuelan oil tanker" are wrong. The truth is even more interesting.
The tanker was registered in Panama and flew a Guyana false flag (thus a stateless vessel), owned by Triton Navigation Corp in the Marshall Islands, which is owned by a Singapore shell company, managed by a Nigerian company, and ultimately owned or controlled by Viktor Sergiyovich Artemov, a Switzerland-based citizen of Ukraine who leads a shadow tanker fleet to supply the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force (IRGC-QF). https://x.com/JMichaelWaller/status/1998946018021290179?s=20
