US seizes and sells Venezuelan oil tankers
The article's text discusses the sale of two oil tankers subject to sanctions after they were seized by the United States. This is part of the sanctions imposed on Venezuela and Iran. The report states that the U.S. government sold the two tankers last month to a Dubai-based company specialized in ship recycling, and they will be dismantled in India, despite complications in identifying their previous owners. The tanker Ira, which was flying the Russian flag and had undergone multiple detentions, was sold in January with the aim of transporting sanctioned oil. The process involves a blockade and pursuits across the Atlantic Ocean and is part of U.S. efforts to obstruct illegal oil exports and enforce sanctions against the involved countries.
