🚨 CARIBBEAN TENSION SPIKES 🚨

🇻🇪🇺🇸 Sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers are on the run — and the U.S. Navy is closing in.

Shadow-fleet vessels loaded with ~1.8M barrels of Merey crude each are slipping out of Venezuela using fake flags, AIS spoofing, and dark transponders. The goal: reach buyers. The reality: U.S. blockade enforcement is tightening.

🔥 What’s happening now

Multiple sanctioned tankers intercepted or seized at sea

Ships renaming, reflagging, going dark to dodge tracking

Clear signal: Washington is squeezing Venezuelan oil revenues hard

⚠️ Reality check: No confirmed report yet of a single VLCC “boxed in” off Colombia — but active interdictions across the Caribbean & Atlantic are ongoing.

Markets are watching. Seas are heating up.
