U.S. armed forces have intercepted another tanker linked to Venezuela in the Caribbean, as part of their campaign to control oil exports from the country. This is the seventh tanker seizure within this operation. The Sagitta, a Panama-flagged vessel, is reportedly owned by a company already sanctioned by the U.S. and involved in a shadowy network transporting oil from sanctioned countries such as Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. The operation was carried out without incident, according to a statement from the U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).
