White House claims against Iran after piracy in the Caribbean

According to RCO News Agency, “Caroline Levitt”, the spokesperson of the White House, during a briefing on Thursday evening, referring to the seizure of the Venezuelan oil tanker, claimed: “The seized Venezuelan vessel was part of the shadow fleet that was carrying sanctioned oil to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.”

According to “Fox News” news media, the spokesperson of the White House continued his claim and said: “The United States Department of Justice has issued a memo confirming the seizure of the Venezuelan oil tanker because it is subject to sanctions.”

Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced earlier: “We condemn the apparent theft of an oil tanker by the United States in the Caribbean and consider it an international piracy.”

Carolyn Levitt continued her claim: “We are committed to the sanctions on Venezuela and will not allow the oil tankers of this country to sell oil to finance drug terrorism.”

The White House spokesman said: US President Donald Trump is not concerned about the recent phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Earlier, the Kremlin Palace announced that Putin discussed with Maduro the development of friendly relations within the framework of the strategic partnership of the two countries and re-emphasized Russia’s support for the process of the current Venezuelan government.

Asked if Trump was worried about the phone call, Levitt told reporters: “I don’t think it’s a concern for President Trump at all.”

The spokesperson of the White House said about the war in Ukraine: “President Trump is extremely disappointed with both sides of this war. “He is tired of meetings just to meet and he doesn’t want talk anymore, he wants action.”

He also emphasized that Trump is aware of Ukraine’s response to the US peace proposal to end the conflict with Russia.

In this press conference, Carolyn Levitt said in response to the question whether Trump is aware of the Ukraine peace proposal: “Yes, President Trump is aware. “Also, there is an opportunity for a peace agreement in Ukraine, and if it is worth it, we will participate in the upcoming meeting.”

“We will announce the Gaza Peace Council and the technocrat government at the right time,” the White House spokesman said, stating that the United States will ensure the achievement of lasting peace in Gaza.
