According to reports from Bloomberg, Reuters and other media on December 21, local time, using people familiar with the matter who did not wish to be named publicly as sources, US personnel traced and intercepted an oil tanker in international waters near Venezuela on the same day. However, there are currently different opinions about “whether US personnel have boarded the ship for inspection.” If this news is true, this is the third tanker recently intercepted by the US side in the waters off Venezuela. The White House has yet to respond to requests for comment. Those familiar with the matter, who did not wish to be named, did not disclose the exact location of the operation, nor did they disclose the name of the intercepted ship. According to several media reports, using the British Maritime Risk Management Organization and US maritime safety sources as sources, what was intercepted was an oil tanker named “Bella 1,” flying the Panamanian flag and being sanctioned by the US. US President Trump ordered a “complete and complete blockade” of all US sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela on December 16, and announced that the US side has classified the current Venezuelan government as a “foreign terrorist organization.”
