Keep up the pressure? US media: US seizes 4 ships carrying Iranian fuel for the first time
[global network reporter Cui Yan] on the 13th, the Wall Street Journal quoted an American official as saying that the United States has recently detained four oil tankers carrying Iranian fuel to Venezuela, which is the first time that the United States has seized oil tankers carrying Iranian fuel. The four tankers, Luna, pandi, Bering and Bella, were recently seized on the high seas and are now heading for Houston, the official said. Senior U.S. government officials are expected to go to the tanker after it has docked, the official added. According to Reuters, U.S. prosecutors filed a lawsuit last month to seize oil from four oil tankers Iran was trying to ship to Venezuela. According to the report, the lawsuit is aimed at preventing Iran from selling oil, which is the latest attempt by the trump administration to increase pressure on the economy of Iran and Venezuela.
