🚨 BREAKING: U.S. SEIZES MASSIVE OIL TANKER OFF VENEZUELA
The tension in global energy markets just exploded again.
President Donald Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces have seized the largest tanker ever taken a Guyana-flagged VLCC named Skipper, loaded with 1.1 million barrels of crude allegedly moved through Venezuela and Iran under heavy sanctions.
According to officials, the FBI, DHS, U.S. Coast Guard, and Pentagon jointly executed the operation, using helicopter-borne troops to board the ship. Authorities say the tanker has long been part of an illicit oil-shipping network linked to foreign terrorist organizations making this one of the most aggressive enforcement actions in years.
Trump, increasing pressure on Maduro, stated: 21Maduro’s days are numbered,” signalling that more actions may follow.
Oil markets reacted instantly:
🛢️ WTI +1.2% → $58.95
🛢️ Brent +1.15% → $62.65
Analysts warn this move could reshape regional oil flow and create heightened risk for shippers dealing with sanctioned states — a scenario that often triggers volatility across commodities and crypto.
