Sending a Russian submarine near Venezuela

The tanker, formerly known as Bella 1, was unable to dock in Venezuela and load its oil cargo, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The newspaper also reported that despite the tanker being empty, the U.S. Coast Guard pursued the vessel into the Atlantic Ocean as part of its efforts to stop a fleet of tankers.

The crew of this oil tanker thwarted the American attempt to enter the ship in December last year and headed towards the Atlantic Ocean. However, as the US Coast Guard continued to pursue the tanker, the crew painted a Russian flag on the side of the ship, changed its name and registration to “Marinera” to pretend that the ship belonged to Russia.

Russia has asked the United States to stop chasing the oil tanker near Venezuela, three US officials said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia announced that it is monitoring the situation around this oil tanker with concern.

In the meantime, the US Army’s Southern Command also wrote on social media that it is ready to deal with the embargoed ships and agents who transport oil in this area.

Rasha Today News agency also announced that the US was trying to seize the oil tanker, which was on its way to Murmansk, Russia, despite its “clear civilian status”.

Tensions over this tanker have intensified and the diplomatic situation between the United States and Russia over Ukraine continues, and the current situation makes the negotiations even more complicated.
